"You can't have any conversations around diversity, equity and inclusion without providing access, and the culture can't change and it can't continue to grow without new and diverse voices having access to the culture being created at the moment," Mehretu said in a statement.
"I did not have access to contemporary art museums as a young adult, and when I moved to New York, I was waiting tables-it was hard to access contemporary art and culture, as it's hard for so many grad students and young people. If you really want to push the discourse and evolve the discourse, many more people need to have access to be able to participate, and this programme is a step in the right direction-and we need more."
