SUMMARY:Exhibition: Social Responsibilities of Museums — Opens
DESCRIPTION:January 21–April 20\, 2025 \nGladys Marcus Library\, Fourth Floor Exhibition Case \nStudents in FIT’s Art History and Museum Professions program reflected on the social responsibilities of museums in recognition of Black History Month. The Art History and Museum Professions major prepares students for positions in museums and other art institutions\, with a focus on collections management\, development\, education\, public relations\, rights and reproductions\, visitor services\, special events\, and exhibitions. By showcasing books related to five temporary exhibitions hosted by five different New York City museums\, this exhibition\, held at the Gladys Marcus Library’s fourth-floor exhibit case\, hopes to highlight the work being done to uplift marginalized communities. \nShows like the Whitney’s Edges of Ailey and The Met’s Flight into Egypt: Black Artists and Ancient Egypt 1876–Now provide a look into the world of Black artists and how they have shaped so much of American art and music\, yet their names often remain unspoken. History is littered with forgotten voices\, but large cultural centers can forever change the way something is remembered. Museums hold power\, and with that power comes an obligation to the communities that support them. The types of artwork and artists that museums choose for exhibitions reveal what is valued in society. By highlighting Black and Latin American artists\, New York museums prove that they understand the responsibility they hold\, as they seek to include those who have been on the sidelines for far too long. \nAn opening reception will be held Monday\, February 24\, from 3:30 to 4:30 pm. \nCurator: Lisa Yen\nFaculty Advisor: Professor Kyunghee Pyun\, Assistant Chair\, Art History and Museum Professions\nGraphic Designer: Lisa Yen\nContributors: Thursday Abad\, Samantha Barnes\, Ashley Villegas Hernandez\, JaDea Houston\, Cassandra (Cassie) Hughes (students in the Art History and Museum Professions program) \nThis event is part of the FIT Diversity Collective’s Black History Month activities; for a full schedule of activities\, visit fitnyc.edu/blackhistory. \nThis exhibition is for the FIT community only.
