In 2022, I went to France for an artist residency and tried to live like James Baldwin, and FAILED. Many things went wrong, from a white woman running the whole operation to Black people being overcharged for a conference. I break down the good, bad, and UGLY of my residency experience, and what it says about reclaiming history. #jamesbaldwin #ArtResidency
