Exhibitions for Social Justice assesses the state of curatorial
work for social justice in the Americas and Europe today. Analyzing
best practices and new curatorial work to support all those working
on exhibitions, Gonzales expounds curatorial practices that lie at
the nexus of contemporary museology and neurology. From sharing
authority, to inspiring action and building solidarity, the book
demonstrates how curators can make the most of visitors' physical
and mental experience of exhibitions. Drawing on ethnographic and
archival work at over twenty institutions with nearly eighty museum
professionals, as well as scholarship in the public humanities,
visual culture, cultural studies, memory studies, and brain
science, this project steps back from the detailed institutional
histories of how exhibitions come to be. Instead, it builds a set
of curatorial practices by examining the work behind the finished
product in the gallery. Demonstrating that museums have the power
to help our society become more hospitable, equitable, and
sustainable, Exhibitions for Social Justice will be of interest to
scholars and students of museum and heritage studies, gallery
studies, arts and heritage management, and politics. It will also
be valuable reading for museum professionals and anyone else
working with exhibitions who is looking for guidance on how to
ensure their work attains maximum impact.
