OUR MUSEUM: OUR VOICES

Part of the beauty of an object, or a museum collection, lies in its capacity to respond to more than one gaze and to unlock more than one story. We're committed to hearing and telling as many of those stories as possible.

One of the ways we're doing this is through 'Our Museum: Our Voices', a programme in which we asked 24 students to write alternative labels for objects on display in our galleries. The labels are written from personal experience as well as expertise, with participants considering their ethnicity, gender and sexuality in responding to the collections.

Keep an eye out for 'Our Museum: Our Voices' labels as you roam the galleries during your next visit, and explore a virtual exhibition of the objects and their labels here: https://www.ashmolean.org/omov

On Thursday I watched an interview with Faith Ringgold and took these #sketchnotes. Thank you to @themuseumofmodernart for giving us a chance to get to know this legendary artist better. I'm sure the interview would have delved deeper into the meaning and nuance of the art had they involved people from their education department, but those experts were all fired in April. I enjoyed learning about Ringgold's advocacy for representation at museums, and wonder why that didn't prompt any introspection about MOMA's staffing and predominately white board of trustees. #faithringgold #moma #museumsarenotneutral #museumworkers https://www.instagram.com/p/CBtUrGkB7XF/?igshid=tdjcn0ewugjv
