Hyperallergic news editor Jasmine Weber and reporter Valentina Di Liscia [joined me](https://podcast.hyperallergic.com/episodes/should-galleries-have-received-millions-of-dollars-of-ppp-loans-MnJyzAA2?ref=hyperallergic.com) to parse the latest PPP loan news and discuss the list of beneficiaries.

Previously, we reported on galleries, museums, and nonprofits in [New York](https://hyperallergic.com/nyc-art-museums-galleries-ppp-loans/) and [Los Angeles](https://hyperallergic.com/la-art-spaces-ppp-loans-in-the-millions/) that received loans, and noted that the world’s most exclusive art galleries received millions of dollars of taxpayer money. In this conversation we offer some additional details andthoughts about the news.

We also discuss the evolving discussion around the blurring of faces in protest photographs, following a statement issued by [ICP Center Blackness Now](https://hyperallergic.com/community-calls-on-icp-to-set-ethical-guidelines-for-protest-photography/) on the need for guidelines for protest photographers. Photographer [Dawoud Bey](https://hyperallergic.com/tag/dawoud-bey/) offered his thoughts in the comments of the post we published, which has extended the conversation. We share our thoughts on the topic.

The music for this episode is “[The One](https://soundcloud.com/wayveys/the-one-jfkh-m1-rev-3?ref=hyperallergic.com)” by The Wayves.
