Смотрю, у вас в Бостоне и без вируса безумие свирепствовало:
in 2015, when the Boston Museum of Fine Art found itself at the center of a cultural appropriation row when it introduced "Kimono Wednesday." As part of the public program surrounding its "Looking East: Western Artists and the Allure of Japan" exhibition, the museum invited visitors to try on replicas of the red kimono worn by Claude Monet's wife in his painting "La Japonaise."
After a group of protestors accused organizers of racism and cultural appropriation and incited backlash on social media, Kimono Wednesday was swiftly canceled, though Jiro Usui, the deputy consul general of Japan in Boston, told the Boston Globe that the consulate "did not quite understand the point of the protest."
