Thinking Through Culture: Six Practical Steps to Addressing Race in Museums
Wednesday, October 21, 10:00 a.m. CT
Museums and cultural institutions are facing increased scrutiny to better represent the diversity of the United States, to take a stand on police brutality, and to better connect with underserved communities. Despite a groundswell of optimism about change, there are myriad structural reasons why museums struggle to adapt to recent demands, including deeply entrenched forms of knowledge and organizational models that reflect long legacies of colonialism and racism.
This webinar will consider the questions: What kind of expertise and experience is relevant in the museum? What kind of relationship should museums have with their surrounding communities? How should we think about collections? How can museums help heal our divisions?
