    Museums & Race

     
    Hello all,

    Apologies for cross-posts.

     

    With the shift of the AAM conference to a virtual setting, Museums and Race is shifting its planned activities online as well. We are looking to develop a shared understanding and critique of our museum practice, particularly the urgency and implications, when viewed through human rights and social justice frameworks. If you are interested in leading a session, co-presenting a "panel" or sharing a poster virtually, please sign up below by May 1st, 2020.

     

    See the attached pdf for more details about Museums & Race and the Cypher sessions and sign up at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdOOnqh0yEe9MBhp9pyqEvBrJklrcIYK5oEfddUwHm-L-b-7g/viewform

     

    We will be holding these Cypher sessions during the original AAM dates of May 18, 19, and 20. We are also talking to AAM about our involvement during the virtual conference dates in June.

    Thank you, we have just submitted to lead a panel on the required portal and will provide a poster here soon. As the better part of an upcoming exhibit, we felt this fit in well. It is amazing to understand where we come from and to take that into the present for change.

    WHEN A BLACK MAN TOUCHES A WHITE WOMAN - PRESIDENT JOHN QUINCY ADAMS: "OTHELLO IS DISGUSTING." BLACKS WITH WHITES IS SICKENING, Spring, 2022, The hero of the court case and movie, Amistad, was physically revulsed over black men touching white women and stated it in writing and openly at dinners in Boston. Listened to by servants and written about by the famed Shakespearean, British star, Fanny Kemble, in her book, after dining with the President of the United States in Boston (1833) she was astonished that he found it wrong, The President later published two essays describing blacks and whites having sex, marrying, and having babies to be unnatural. This presentation will include research by the Executive Board of The American Anthropological Association scientifically rejecting the idea of different races on earth and recognizing the need to cease such behavior. The APA recognizes the human race all coming underneath Homo Sapiens.

    These exhibits feature an exclusive digital collection of online offerings in conjunction with Google Arts & Culture exhibits and opening night presentations. These are six new exhibits revolving around controversial ideas in America and how a President and First Family can reflect it in history. As more eyes turn on the Presidency than ever before - we are designing these exhibits with that in mind, to examine the involvement of Presidents in such affairs.
