White students made to look black on US side
    2018-09-18  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

AN image promoting an art college in France was digitally manipulated to make white students appear black to appeal to a broader audience in the U.S.

Emile Cohl art school in Lyon, which has around 120 students, is planning to open a branch in Los Angeles.

But former students noticed that an image taken of a school group visiting a gallery had been visibly doctored.

The original image had shown the students who were all white but a new version of the image had been changed to show three students with darkened faces and two other people of color added to it.

People took to social media to criticize the image, which was described in one tweet as “blackwashing” and a way to manipulate the reputation of the school without giving places to black students.

Emile Cohl’s director Antoine Rivière told L’Express that the school had enlisted the services of an American PR agency to promote its reputation and that one of the images had been manipulated without his knowledge.

He said that as soon as the school found out, the link to the website page was removed and it terminated its contract with the PR agency, which it would not name. An apology has been sent to both students and parents.
