SESSION

Tune in to
our next In
Session—the
second of
four-panel
discussions
focused on
anti-racist
work in
museums—with
museum
leaders Lisa
Dent,
Executive
Director,
Artspace New
Haven; Tracy
Moore,
Interim
Director,
MASS MoCA;
Cameron
Shaw, Deputy
Director and
Chief
Curator,
California
African
American

Eric Shiner,
Executive
Director,
Pioneer
Works. The
panel will
begin with
introductory
remarks by
Dr. Mindy
Fullilove,
Social
Psychiatrist
and
Professor,
New School;
and will be
moderated by
Cecile
Shellman,
DEI Museum
Consultant.
Designed to
pose more
questions
than
answers,
topics for
this
discussion
include: Why
should art
institutions
move toward
the work of
anti-racism
and social
change? What
are an art
institution's
responsibilities
toward BIPOC
audiences
when hosting
challenging
work
concerning
violence
enacted
against
Black and
Brown
bodies? What
is an art
institution's
role in
providing
context
(cultural,
art
historical,
media, or
otherwise)
around a
work of art?
Presented by
MASS MoCA
and the
Berkshire
Cultural
Resource
Center at
MCLA, In
Session is
free for all
and will be
