CGS-Global Museum Museum Work in Light of the Pandemic and the Protest

On October 20 at 12pm, Dr. Thea Quiray Tagle (University of Massachusetts Boston), Dr. Anita Haldemann (Kunstmuseum Basel), Dr. Sooa Im McCormick (Cleveland Museum of Art), and Dr. Maureen Warren (Krannert Museum of Art) discussed how the pandemic and racial struggles have reshaped global museum work. The participating curators and scholars addressed the challenges, as well as the new trajectories and avenues for engaging the public that emerged as the result of the global health and race crises. The goal of this panel is to generate active discussions about the impact of these events on the museum as an institution, curatorial practices, and museum professionals.
