the distinction between “crafts” and “fine art” is probably driven by misogyny and the devaluation of women’s labor

art forms that have traditionally been practiced by women like embroidery are devalued and called just “crafts” while art forms that women historically were mostly barred from (painting, sculpture) are “fine art”

Also racism; African and Indigenous art is considered crafts whereas only white forms are “art”

this was the subject of an entire term’s architectural project for our master’s degree program, we had long, involved class discussions about this, and you are absolutely, exceptionally correct.
