Symposium Schedule

Saturday, March 13, 2021

4:30 p.m. EST | Session 6: Curating Blackness in Museums and Cultural Spaces

Although measures of diversity name “black” as a single category, some museums and cultural institutions focus on the research, collection, preservation, and display of black diversity. This panel will explore what it means historically, and in a contemporary context, to present diverse black stories, whether for “traditional” museum audiences, predominantly black visitors, or in digital spaces.

  • Deborah L. Mack, National Museum of African American History and Culture
  • María Elena Ortiz, Perez Art Museum Miami
  • Aleia Brown, University of Maryland, College Park
  • Diala Touré, Appraisals of Value
