Professor Rogério Pinto spoke with WEMU about his art exhibit “Colorism,” and how it inspired a storytelling event at The Wright Museum in Detroit. “Alice Walker actually is the person who came up with the term colorism as a way, and that’s how she defines it, as racism within the same racial or ethnic group. But I see colorism as also racism across people of different groups, racial and ethnic groups as well. So, my exhibit explores colorism from this much more ample view.”
Pinto also spoke with Model D Media and WDET.
