TED: Can art amend history? | Titus Kaphar

The speaker shares a personal story about visiting the Natural History Museum with his sons, which sparked a conversation about fairness and representation in public sculptures. He recounts his unexpected journey into art, motivated by a relationship, and his experiences in art history classes that lacked representation of black artists. The speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding art as a visual language and proposes amending historical narratives to reflect diversity and progress, rather than erasing them.
