A six-part online series exploring topics of social justice and museums.

The Museum Association of New York in partnership with Museum Hue, will center the voices of people of color in “Museums Support Democracy,” a six-part virtual program series. These programs will explore Museums and Civil Rights, Visual and Performative Protest, Environmental Justice, Healing Historical Legacies, Ethical Collections, and Multiplying Interpretive Lenses. Each topic will be presented and discussed by museum professionals from a broad range of locations and disciplines featuring the work of culturally responsive museums. This virtual series will deepen the understanding of who we are as museums, offer inspiration to effect critically needed societal change, and help shape the world we are making together for our audiences and stakeholders. These programs will bring together like-minded people who are separated by geography, discipline, and the size of their institutions but joined together by similar issues and passions.
