4:05 There are so many hurdles and obstacles involved with gaining any sort of recognition within the art world as a Black man, as a man of color or as any person of color, says Vakseen, a 41-year-old digital artist based in California. But with non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that might be changing.
Here s how NFTs work: With any sale, buyers receive a digital certificate of authenticity on a blockchain. This proves ownership and preserves the artwork s provenance.
With non-fungable tokens on the blockchain, these creators have total control over the sale of their art and how it s distributed. In a sense, they are their own agents and gallery owners. They can also attach stipulations to get proceeds every time it is sold.
Guilty of being, in his words, hesitantly hopeful.
“I hope this changes things the next time police kill somebody for no reason,” Richardson said. “There will be a next time. When it happens, and if the evidence is there like with Chauvin, I hope the jury and judge and everybody convicts. I hope. But I’m hesitantly hopeful.
“Know what? I hate that’s how I feel. But one conviction isn’t enough. I’ve seen too many guilty cops get away with murder.”
Richardson, 40, Trenton-born, Delran-raised, watched along with the rest of the country as a Minnesota jury on Tuesday found Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, guilty of second degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter for kneeling on the neck of handcuffed and pleading-for-his-life George Floyd for 9 minutes, 29 seconds during an arrest last year.

Sibil Fox and Rob Richardson (also known as Fox and Rob Rich) are among a handful of New Orleanians who have a personal stake in Sunday night’s 2021 Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Awards
. The poignant film about their two-decade-long effort to find justice in what is often considered a racially charged and overly harsh prison-industrial complex, “Time,” is a favorite for Best Documentary Feature.
Also up for Oscar consideration is “One Night in Miami,” which was shot in New Orleans and LaPlace, as well as musical works by New Orleans natives and NOCCA graduates Terence Blanchard and Jon Batiste, who have been nominated in the Best Score category. LSU grad Steven Soderbergh is one of the event’s producers. “Time” is only the second documentary post-Katrina New Orleans to be nominated for an Oscar.
