Event description
BAMPFA Chief Curator Christina Yang considers new practices of feminist care and museology in the 21st century. Seen through Yang's career arc of interdisciplinary practice and intersectional knowledge-making, the talk will explore practical and philosophical learnings as curators rethink power and community. Yang addresses today's urgency for arts professionals, emerging scholars, and intergenerational artists alike to work together as civic agents for change.
