第六届年度YBCA 100获奖者已由Yerba Buena Centres为艺术宣布,并首次被邀请通过提名潜在收件人成为选拔过程的一部分。

Perhaps because of that, this year’s list — including artists, activists, community leaders and journalists — is particularly diverse. According to YBCA, 93% of the honorees are people of color, 73% are artists, 60% are women, and 68% hail from the Bay Area.

On April 3, the honorees will be celebrated at the virtual YBCA 100 Summit, which will feature performances, stories and rituals marking the occasion. Previous recipients include Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza in 2016, “Sorry to Bother You” filmmaker Boots Riley in 2017 and national youth poet laureate Amanda Gorman, who recently found acclaim with她在总统就职典礼上阅读的诗歌,2018年。

根据组织的首席方案官员,Meklit Hadero, programming around the YBCA 100 and Summit will continue throughout the year in exhibitions, performances and conversations from the honorees as well as participation from recipients in the organization’s Alchemy of the Reset conversation series focusing on life during the pandemic.

“在创建YBCA 100名单时,我们很重要,以便通过提升大胆地对其社区的健康和福祉差异的挑衅者和创新者来满足当前的时刻,以追求种族股权,并使用艺术和激进主义来治愈,并在我们最需要的时候将我们带到精神上,“YBCA首席执行官Deborah Cullinan在本组织的一份声明中说。“通过这些个人和运动建设者的工作,我们找到了灵感和不断迁移和加速社会变革的理由。”

在湾区接受者中是绩效公司动力学,艺术家和联合创始人看黑人女性Tahirah Rasheed,艺术家熔岩托马斯,女演员和洛林汉斯剧院玛戈厅,纪事餐厅评论家议员,音乐家Ryan Nicole,跨学科艺术家Leticia Hernandez,艺术家和策展人Karen Seneferu,社区组织Soma Pilipinas和沃尔特罩的设计工作室。来自湾区外的荣誉包括普利策奖获奖纽约时报记者和创造者的1619项目Nikole Hannah-Jones,算法正义联赛创始人Joy Buolamwini,“所以你想谈论比赛吗?”作者Ijeoma Oluo,Musician Rhiannon Giddens和纪录片电影制片人Loira Limbal。

“这是一个如此荣幸,所以验证被命名为YBCA 100,”托马斯·塔姆斯,in-progress Maya Angelou monumentin front of the main branch of the public library. “I am absolutely thrilled to be in the company of so many people who are doing the difficult but necessary work to create the change we need for a more caring, equitable and just world.”

“成为YBCA 100的一部分,作为我们的创造性工作至关重要的验证,”艺术家和荣辱人群Carpio说。“我们目前的条件需要创新的文化干预措施,以探讨我们迫切需要的刚才,社会政治续约。”

Honoree Leticia Hernández said that for seven years, YBCA has been a hub that has supported her “as both a socially engaged interdisciplinary artist and a racial justice educator” and that receiving the honor came at a significant time for her.

“最近,因为合同被推迟,随着世界似乎太伤了,YBCA加强了,”Hernández说。“他们不仅询问了他们在这段时间内能够支持艺术家,他们采取了行动。他们向我们开辟了他们的机构,并邀请我们领导并创造出真正的社会变革和种族司法的目标。我有一段时间没有觉得有希望的,但随着YBCA从我的一个合作伙伴到一个艺术家,我觉得令人欣慰的救济感,感恩和灵感。“

Going forward, Hadero says that YBCA will keep the public nomination process in awarding the 100.

“这对我们来说是一个非常成功的经历,”哈埃罗说。“我们喜欢公众提名过程的开放性。社区知道艺术家和创造性领导者是谁需要注意的人。我们的目标是获得100名公众提名;我们得到98.“

Yerba Buena艺术中心是一家艺术中心,位于旧金山市中心布埃纳维斯塔花园的艺术中心,展览和绩效空间,重点是赋予艺术家的艺术家。自3月份关闭以来,哈埃罗报告了前几年的500万美元的总收入,但表示,该组织能够抵消大部分减少的开支,改进筹款和PPP贷款。7月,该组织被迫消除27个员工职位由于大流行带来的预算不足,但目前没有计划撤销额外的员工。
