Film & TV / Mykki Blanco Guest EditFilm & TV / Mykki Blanco Guest EditMykki Blanco speaks on white supremacy in WYPIPOThe artist dons full whiteface to imitate white archetypes including right-wing politicians, neighbourhood watchers, and a hip-hop fan who doesn’t want to talk about raceShareLink copied ✔️August 23, 2018August 23, 2018TextDeclan Rhys MassicottProducerBec Evans “I’m throwing this brunch, do you think you can bring some people of colour?
