Description
In her book “Mounting Frustration: The Art Museum in the Age of Black Power,” Susan Cahan brings to light the stories behind some of the “ground breaking” exhibitions of African American artists in the 1960s and ‘70s. We will talk about the role these exhibitions played in reinforcing prejudice, how they spawned a movement toward culturally specific museums and how museums continue to act in ways that support privilege.
