A self-designed gallery tour by Elizabeth Keto '18, which features objects including an Assyrian wall relief, a British “abolitionist” milk jug, and photographs by contemporary American artist LaToya Ruby Frazier, is intended to prompt reflection and conversations, even difficult ones.⠀
⠀
“My tour asks how art has been used to support or reinforce power, what kinds of politics can have a form in art, and the efficacy of art in producing change,” said Keto, who will graduate with a concentration in the history of art and architecture. “I hope it opens up others’ experiences in the museums.”⠀
⠀
The recipient of a 2018 Marshall Scholarship, Keto will pursue master’s degrees in art history and curatorial studies at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. She hopes to someday be a curator focused on making museums more representative of diverse artists and more welcoming to visitors of all backgrounds.⠀
