What Happened To One Muralist’s Piece In Oklahoma City, And What That Says About The Public Art World

Artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh writes on Instagram, “My America Is Black mural was taken down in Oklahoma City because, despite having permission to install the work from the building owner, all murals in OKC must go through a proposal process and be approved by the OKC Arts Commission. The OKC Arts Commission has 15 commissioners. 14 of which are white. 11 of which are men.”
