Coates considers herself lucky that she hadn’t seen Thelma & Louise until maybe five years ago. “I'd managed to move through my life without knowing that they die, and so I truly screamed, I couldn't believe that they went over the cliff,” she says. Righting that wrong, 35 years after the film’s 1991 release, wasn’t her intention, but Coates is happy that some viewers see that as the takeaway: “That is so telling that the times have moved on, that that doesn’t feel your only option.”

Woah.

RIDE OR DIE (2026) | Trailer

Keith Haring's story is usually told as a solo rise, but that version leaves out Angel "LA II" Ortiz, a Puerto Rican artist from the Lower East Side who collaborated with Haring from the very beginning. Angel was a teenager when they met, already active in the neighborhood's graffiti culture. He taught Keith how tagging worked on the street, painted alongside him, and guided him through spaces Keith did not come from. Angel's tags, infill, and visual language appear across works that later became associated with Keith Haring's public legacy.

After Keith Haring's death, the story changed. Museums mounted exhibitions, publishers released books, and merchandise entered the market under a single name.

In that process, Angel Ortiz was framed as hired labor instead of a collaborator, even though his work remains visible on paintings, sculptures, and objects shown in major institutions today. Angel has said openly that race played a role in his erasure, and photographer Clayton Patterson has explained how institutions chose a simpler version of the story that centered one white artist and removed a Puerto Rican collaborator. Angel Ortiz is still working as an artist today, and the time has come for the art world to give him clear credit for the work he helped create…yuliaxgon
