These Diverse Baseline Challenge was created by @bookish.millennial & @themargherita.s (on instagram). In 2025, the goal is to read 1 book by a racialized author each month. This challenge is meant to encourage readers to try genres they historically don’t reach for, find new-to-them racialized authors, and to encourage reflection on our reading habits.

This is a mix of recommendations by the challenge organizers and myself.

Some slipcased, illustrated or photographical books. Because it’s better to leaf through pictures on a glossy page than doomscroll for 7+ hrs.

Non-fiction books for visual artists and the art curious. These books have influenced my art practice and my thoughts about art.
