Weekend reading from newtonmatthew: "Usually museum exhibitions are introduced to the public through the museum’s voice, which, even when it’s casual, is still coming from and being scripted by the museum.
.
"We wanted different communities to hear from people they identify with. It was also important to let Pittsburgh know that their voice matters. In an exhibition that highlights people from around the world, we wanted to highlight people who live in Pittsburgh." - Sean Beauford, speaking on the #GuestofHonor campaign via #CMOAstoryboard.
.
Some facts of note: Only 16% of museum leadership positions are held by people of color, according to a 2015 study from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Approximately 85% of artists in US museums' collections are white, according to artnet. Links to the studies can be found in this article, available at storyboard.cmoa.org.
