Join artist, museum educator, and researcher Emily Pringle for a conversation about the criticism of art museums and paths for change.
As museums seek to become more equitable and representative of their communities, how should they respond to critique and calls for radical change? Pringle considers interventions that have the potential to transform museums into inclusive and creative spaces. She argues that they must shift to inquiry-led, reflective environments for museum staff before they can fulfill their rich potential as spaces for engagement and learning. Part of the Arts Administration, Education and Policy lecture series.
