"In between the vending machine and the children is a white lady handing out money to the kids. But everything in the vending machine is bad. It’s filled with items that represent systemic inequality. At the same time the white woman is handing out money to the kids of color to 'buy' those undesirable items, she is depicted as stopping a couple of Black workers bringing packages full of empowering things with which to fill the vending machine. The symbolism is meant to be a sharp portrayal of Madison, where progressive liberal whites often seem to want to tackle issues of race and equity themselves while simultaneously refusing to step aside and let people of color do it.... Lawrence said her intent is to show the nature of performative allyship and the manner in which white savior complex permeates Madison.... 'It’s very Madison and that’s what I wanted... Especially, like, Monroe Street is one of the whitest spots in Madison. They need to be thinking about this....'"

From "Anti-racism mural unveiled on Madison's Monroe Street" (Capital Times). 

I noticed this mural yesterday. Here are my photographs:

The white woman — this liberal lady who thinks she's good but needs to think again — has no face.

 

This criticism of typical Madison liberals was a city project. Here's how the city presents it on its website:

The Madison Arts Commission invites you to celebrate and engage in art activism with Madison’s newest outdoor public works at the Monroe Street Festival on September 25th. The Machine, a mural painted by Black, queer artist Simone Lawrence, aims to raise questions and inspire action to advance social justice and racial equity. 

Emily Balsley and Pajarita Charles, residents of the Dudgeon-Monroe neighborhood, led the charge that sparked the formation of the Monroe Street Anti-Racism Project (MoSAP) leading to the creation of the mural. MoSAP, a grassroots community organizing effort emerged in response to discriminatory, anti-Black flyers found scattered across their neighborhood in 2020-2021. 

In response, an alliance of residents joined forces to send a counter message of justice and inclusion to the neighborhood.... 

Alder Tag Evers stated, "At the core of this effort is the desire to make Dungeon Monroe a more welcoming neighborhood. This mural is an exciting step in that direction."....

Balsley and Charles raised all the funds for the mural, commissioned the artist, secured the space located at Neuhauser Pharmacy, and engaged Alder Tag Evers, local businesses, neighborhood schools, and significant numbers of residents in the planning and implementation of the project. The Madison Arts Commission supported the Monroe Street Anti-Racism Project through the Annual Grant Program which initiates innovative partnerships and sponsors diverse artistic activities to make arts and culture accessible and inclusive to all who live in Madison.
