"Drew's experience teaches us to embrace what we are afraid of and be true to ourselves. She uses her passion to change the art world and invites us to join her." (Janelle Monáe, award-winning singer, actress, and producer)

"Powerful and compelling, this book gives us the courage to discover our own journeys into art." (Hans Ulrich Obrist, artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries in Kensington Gardens, and co-editor of the Cahiers d'Art review)

"This deeply personal and boldly political offering inspires and ignites." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

In this powerful and hopeful account, arts writer, curator, and activist Kimberly Drew reminds us that the art world has space not just for the elite, but for everyone.

Pocket Change Collective is a series of small books with big ideas from today's leading activists and artists. In this installment, arts writer and co-editor of Black Futures Kimberly Drew shows us that art and protest are inextricably linked. Drawing on her personal experience through art toward activism, Drew challenges us to create space for the change that we want to see in the world. Because there really is so much more space than we think.

Critic reviews

"In This Is What I Know About Art, Kimberly Drew takes her reader on an inspiring and urgent journey. This vibrant book describes the moment when art and protest meet—and Drew's amazing blog connects the different chapters. Powerful and compelling, this book gives us the courage to discover our own journeys into art."—Hans Ulrich Obrist, artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries in Kensington Gardens, and co-editor of the Cahiers d'Art review

"Call this a meaningful, profoundly personal lesson in scale and complexity, themes essential to any deep understanding of works of art, museum cultures and how they operate in American life."—Los Angeles Times

"A unique and thoughtful commentary on the art world. A book that should be included in most collections for young people."—School Library Journal, starred review

such much good advice! And such a quick read leaves you wanting more! As a artist that has faced a lot of ups in down in the art system— this book gives me faith that there is still room to tell my story regardless of the elites that want to silence me. Thank you Kimberly! Jehdy Vargas

incredible and so relatable as a dominican artist
