In many museums, there is an erasure of people of color that creates an illusion of who can be an artist. 

​

Conscientize Positive Representation 
Draws the viewer's attention to a work of art done by a minority and fosters a connection between the viewer and the museum. If a visitor is not able to feel a sense of belonging, they will interpret that they do not have access to certain spheres of life. 

​

Foster Critical Literacy about Dilemmas of Representations
Criticizes problematic artworks where racial minorities are not represented or misrepresented. This creates a distinction that those stereotypes are not representative of a population, both for insiders and outsiders of that specific group. If stereotypes are present in art, it can be internalized by the viewers.
