To support the convening “Reflecting Forward: Learning from American Art Reinstallations,” which assembles scholars, curators, educators, and artists to discuss best practices in stewarding community advisory groups, establishing multivocal models of interpretation, and supporting the integration of Native and non–Native American art collections. Drawing from the Passages in American Art reinstallation, supported by a Terra Foundation grant, the event creates a forum to explore the questions raised through the advisory group process centering Indigenous knowledge and values and exploring New England’s connection to the Atlantic Slave Trade, which anchored this project. The program is open to the public and its recordings available through the museum website.
