HOW DO MUSEUMS RESPOND TO THE URGENCY OF THE MOMENT?
In what ways can museums be critically transformed to foster social justice work? Fwd: Museums, an inclusive, cross disciplinary publication, shares interventions, experiments, and community dialogues within and outside of museums. Our contributors reexamine, critique, and challenge museums as socially responsible spaces.
In our seventh issue, "Manifesto," encompassing more than just a declaration put into writing, these pages are the catalysts to spark action and inspire change. Our contributors, artists, professors, museum professionals, students, and others face our present di¿culties and imagine bold new solutions and futures. Inside you will ¿nd artwork, essays, poetry, and other creative forms that explore topics such as:
¿ Reviews examining the use of the museums as neutral arbiters to advance problematic ideologies.
¿ A call for a new multi-realist approach to diversity within the art world.
¿ A reimagining of the role of security guards in art museums in Italy.
¿ How even botanical gardens can advance imperial narratives.
¿ In their own words, how university students are combining social activism and museum practice in Mexico City.
¿ Presenting the history of girlhood through museum exhibitions as a form of rebellion.
As the tumultuous ¿rst few years of this new decade has laid bare the failings and weakness of our current system, may the dreams of a brighter, better future be manifested.
Now, it's your turn.
We're looking Fwd to continuing the conversation.
