From Mary Grace Vallacchi
Museums have a long history of racism and classism, so it isn't surprising that many people around the country have been advocating for the decolonization of these institutions. Through various classes at Conn I have learned about many inequalities in the world and realized how those injustices are present in every aspect of life, even my own field of interest as an Art History major. Thus, in this presentation I intend to explore the classist roots of American museums, how those histories manifest in today's museums, and why they still remain a source of unbiased knowledge.
