LB-1014 (History Dept. seminar room)
In this workshop I will provide a brief overview of my work at two sites on two exhibitions. First, work with the collecting curators of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History September 11: Bearing Witness to History 2002-03 exhibit will be presented in the context of discussing shifting contexts of exhibit interpretation. Second, my collaborative project with Rebekah Sobel on the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s 2009-present From Memory to Action: Meeting the Challenge of Genocide Today exhibit will be discussed as a further entry point to facilitating workshop conversation. This conversation will center on issues and challenges specific to evaluating the actual and potential social justice impacts of museum exhibitions on both the aftermaths and ongoing progression of violent events of scale.
