Being Critical of Something you Love, with Sarah Hoover
“I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.” Thats a quote from James Baldwin. One of my favorites. But I realized it applies to so many things...our careers/industries, our relationships, our systems etc.
I’ve been in the media field for 10 years and am highly critical of it - because I love it so much. There’s a way to be critical and productive about things we love. Sarah Hoover is a great example of that. One of the most brilliant people in the art world - but also vocal about its flaws. I sat down with her and she got real about the problems and ways to alleviate them.
