"Museums are undergoing a major identity crisis — possibly the biggest identity crisis since their formation — a lot of this is stemming from a culture of fear, and a total dissolution of trust." – @mialocks, Episode 1 of #HopeAndDread bit.ly/3vfHWZ8
Forgot to share when this dropped because it was my birthday and I was busy celebrating myself (lol I was actually alone looking at art but hey, that’s celebration to some of us!). Anyway excited to share a bit about the work I’ve been doing with Museums Moving Forward…
In episode, “Infernal Affairs”--dropping today (2/2)-- hosts @charlieburns & Allan Schwartzman head inside the museum to focus on the power struggles between museum leadership and museum staff. #HopeAndDread

“we have a rampant belief in our sector that people from outside our organization/community/geographic area are somehow more knowledgeable and effective than the people in it. I am calling it the Outsider Efficacy Bias (OEB)”

MOCA’s online platform for experimental film and video art returns this October with SCREEN: Kevin Jerome Everson. Starting today, you can watch Everson's 2017 film 𝘐𝘍𝘖 on moca.org/screen.
ALT Film still from IFO. A gray blue tone floods the frame, in which a Black man stands up with his hands held high in the air. Behind him, all we see is an eerie gray blue sky and some telephone wires.
“Know who you are and you will know what to do.”

Tomorrow during the vp debate you can watch Amiri hang out with Black Panthers and Black students instead. @ashleyjamesart @jasminprix and I will be discussing his work on film and beyond following the screening.

“Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: 'My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.'” – at Manhattan, NY
I am SO VERY TIRED of misogyny. Thank you @AOC for standing up for women. I hope my daughter grows up to be even a fraction as brave and bright as you are.
Rep @AOC: "I do not need Rep. Yoho to apologize to me. Clearly he does not want to. Clearly when given the opportunity he will not & I will not stay up late at night waiting for an apology from a man who has no remorse over calling women & using abusive language towards women."
So my phone just alerted me to the fact that I’m spending an average of 7.5 hrs/day on it. This feels like a disgusting amount. But I have no sense. Is this “normal” by any stretch of the imagination? Or do I need a detox? What are your averages these days????
