Debate: Inclusion in Museum Exhibitions
following the screening of WHITE BALLS ON THE WALLS, dir. Sarah Vos
partner: Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw
In Sarah Vos's film, we explore the Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art in Amsterdam during a transition period when the curatorial team was working intensively to evaluate the museum's history, throughout which primarily works by white men – privileged by their gender and social status – were exhibited. Nowadays, those responsible for selecting the artworks presented at the Stedelijk are turning their gaze to women and minority groups, whose art has often been overlooked. Do we need a new art history? How does the selection of male and female artists representing specific social groups affect our perception of community? Representatives of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw and the National Museum in Warsaw will address the above questions talking about the strategies of these institutions.
Guests:
Marta Przasnek – art historian, audio describer and accessibility coordinator at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.
dr Magdalena Pinker – curator of the Oriental Art Collection at the National Museum in Warsaw, Assistant Professor at the Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies of the Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Warsaw.
Moderator:
Sonia Kisza – art historian and museum lover. For several years, he has been running the @histeria.sztuki profile on Instagram
