Over the last year, interactions between museums and the public have shifted dramatically in response to the ongoing pandemic and international calls for social and racial justice, contributing to an ever-expanding dialogue about how museums engage with people. In this three-day series of conversations, hear from an international array of scholars, artists, writers, performers, and activists as they share their ideas about how museums engage with people locally and globally.
These live conversations take place on Zoom. Free, though advance registration is required. Register at the links below.
Day 1: Tuesday, May 18, 2021, 1–5 pm
Day 2: Wednesday, May 19, 2021, 1–5 pm
Day 3: Thursday, May 20, 2021, 1–4 pm
The conversations will also be recorded and available to view after they take place.
The program is made possible by the Giorgio S. Sacerdote Fund and the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.
