@hyperallergic I found an article from Museum News almost 20 years ago (!!) that talked about the tension between advocacy and museum spaces.

Museum News.

Inside, some executives and board members were saying the same dumbass things. I'm over it. Visitors are over it. Data show it (regardless of who analyzes it).

#museums #MuseumsAreNotNeutral

@hyperallergic Cool. I personally have been hearing this for over 20 years. Evaluators have been screaming this. Let's gooooo.

Or. You know. CEOs and executives can continue to think this is a new revolutionary idea that needs careful, cautious steps.
Whatever.

@meredith Bums me out, since we don't hear from FoH staff enough in general, and I definitely don't want this viewpoint from the article to stifle those conversations... Just like we don't want this viewpoint to stifle interaction and meaning making for visitors!

#museums #MuseumsAreNotNeutral

@meredith Agreed. This person is free to have their opinion, yet there is zero awareness of the multitude of assumptions they're making here, nor their tremendous bias. Aside from that - and your points @meredith - it's hard to know where to start, right?

Could be taken as the museum asking this, or that I'm asking art museums this:

My belated intro toot:
My loves: awesome #TransKid, cool dude husband, #Nonagenarian immigrant mom. #MultigenerationalHousehold. #Pets are family, too.
My work: #Decolonize #NonProfit #ArtsAndCulture spaces. #MuseumsAreNotNeutral. #CulturalPlacekeeping & #HistoricalPreservation of and for #AsianAmerican & #NativeHawaiian & #PacificIslander folx. #AANHPI #History is #AmericanHistory. #NotAMonolith. Nor are #Black, #Indigenous, #Latinx, #POC #Friends & #Relatives. Still learning, often clumsily.

I work in museummanagement in the lovely Zeeuws Museum (not yet on Mastondon) and am interested in…wait, or should I say what I’m not interested in? #introduction Either way some of the topics that usually make my heat beat faster are #museumsarenotneutral #ClimateCrisis #equality #naturelovers #activism #blacklivesmatter #feminism #humanrights #equality #socialjustice #love #change #nonprofit #art #vegan #lgbtq #dachshund

Hi! My coworkers and I have been trying to get an inclusive election at The Walters Art Museum since April of last year. The director has refused every request to meet with us to discuss holding a third party election even after receiving letters from the mayor, city council, and the comptroller requesting she do just that. She is trying to push us to an election through the NLRB which would divide our power.

went to see the van gogh in america show. and as i went through this emotion built. all the frustration with museums and my job at one seemed to bubble. in a cliche moment as i stood in front of one i cried. #VanGogh #Art #Museum #museumsarenotneutral

@DonnaLanclos @rdmond This is the beauty of #museumsarenotneutral - it’s an insistent reminder that what some consider to be “normal” is itself a position.
