Workshop Presentation Yael Horowitz
Contemporary museums and prisons developed along parallel lines and during overlapping historical moments in the 19th century. These institutions are connected to each other as spaces where norms are set and reinforced, where certain values are uplifted, and certain people are disappeared. The sessions guides participants through identifying disciplinary hot spots in a museum, understanding how they make be connected to larger carceral systems, and then imagining alternatives based in liberation. Participants will leave the session with a zine and further resources to bring this conversation back to their institutions.
