ZOOM Lecture - The impact of the year 2020 has reverberated widely through the museum world. Extended periods of closure in response to Covid-19 challenged institutions to enliven and expand their digital programs, while discussions of racial equity and social justice brought increased scrutiny to who museums serve and how. Embarking on a new chapter in the history of museums will entail deep reflection on the past and stimulate creativity from institutions and artists. Hear from Laura Corey, who co-curated The Metropolitan Museum's 150th anniversary exhibition Making The Met, 1870-2020 and is now Project Manager for Curatorial, Conservation, and Science Initiatives and Senior Researcher in the Director's Office at The Met.
