Reproduction of white privilege in visual art education

This paper outlines the theories of reproduction, hegemony, White privilege, “Other”-ing, colorblindness, and dominator relations as they relate to race and class normalization as found in six separate journals of art education over a five-year period. An exposition of the current literature of art education for sites of reproduction of colorblind and classist ideology is then situated in two case studies of art students. The paper closes with a discussion of practices and theoretical perspectives that could contribute to creating conversations and educational systems that undermine oppression.
