Problemet är att analysen är fel. Efter en katastrofal P1-intervju den 24 oktober, där Bah Kuhnke duckade för varje fråga, skrev Expressens kulturjournalist Gunilla Brodrej ”Hon har inte kompetens nog” och ”saknar kulturell kärna”. Jens Liljestrand menar att Bah Kuhnkes DN Debatt-artikel påminner om ”substanslös textreklam”, DN:s kulturchef Björn Wiman skriver: ”Marken gungar under Bah Kuhnkes fötter”. Aftonbladets kulturchef Åsa Lindeborg konstaterar att ”Makten är en svart kvinna” och förtydligar: ”Kulturminister Alice Bah Kuhnke är kvinna, afrosvensk och helt otippad på sin post. Ska det göra henne immun för diskussion?””

Clay Benskin weaves his way through the crowded sidewalks of Lower Manhattan, apparently invisible to the people streaming past him. He is not a small man. Yet even as his camera gets to within inches of someone’s face, the person doesn’t flinch.

“People will stand in front of me and not pay me any mind,” Mr. Benskin said. “I guess I have no presence.”

His photographs, on the other hand, do. Since taking up photography a little more than three years ago — almost on a dare to himself — Mr. Benskin has proven to be adept at street photography, a genre he insists he had to look up online. His images are noirish scenes of city life, from people emerging from clouds of steam, wacky T-shirts in the middle of a crowd or reflections in the morning light.

Not that he considers himself to be a street photographer, even if he graduated from a smartphone to a high-quality compact camera. He’s been known to abruptly stop posting images on social media, only to return weeks later. He insists he does not care to exhibit, since it would be too much work.
