But it also suggests that there is an individual approach to the issues that many of these white people have taken up as a recognition of their tie to and responsibility for some of the inequities that exist.

Our strategy is very horizontal. We're trying to build a social layer for everything.

But maybe it's a side effect of my approach.

I do feel that there are things you can learn from an artist, but I think you need to be very close to that person, and to know that person fairly well, in order to acquire anything from them.
