In Peggy McIntosh's "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Backpack" she looks at her experience and thoughts on white privilege as wells male privilege. Guillermo Gomez Peña talks about his experiences with being a migrant and performing all over the world in the “Introduction to Dangerous Border Crossers.”
I think in order to creatively work with a community you need to be a human, in particular you need to be an artistic human in order to do an art project. Duh. I think that you have to be there for the community, not for yourself. I would say that I would even be best to be anonymous to the outside world in particular instances. Projects such as The Roof is on Fire is a project that needed to be a known project but didn’t need to have the artists names attached to them. What is the project called? The Roof is on Fire by Suzanne Lacy. What should it be called? The Roof is on Fire by the students who want there voices heard.
