Hello everyone,
This is a very difficult time. Know that we are thinking of you. We are pausing our regular content this week so we can take time to reflect and to start having important conversations that will lead to meaningful change.
We’ve linked a talk between Julie Crooks, Associate Curator at the AGO, and Amanda Hunt, Director of Education at MOCA LA, here. They discussed the importance of museums sustaining the anti-racist movement. The AGO will also be hosting a talk on Wednesday, June 10th at 1pm with Audrey Hudson, Associate Curator, Schools & Early Learning Programs as she engages a round table discussion on how to speak about anti-black racism with the art in the AGO’s collection as an entry point. You can register for this talk by clicking here.
We welcome any feedback and resources you wish to share. We are committed to doing better.
Black Lives Matter.
Sincerely,
Trish, Jonathan, Christine and Nicole
