Museum as Forum, 2024, acrylic and viscose yarn. Displayed in "Co-Crafting Democracy" exhibition at the Women's Hall of Fame.
One of the tenets of a functioning democracy is the availability and distribution of public goods. New York City-based museums, which already produce educational programming, have grown increasingly aware of their responsibility as democratic forums and as providers of non-educational public goods, particularly in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic. One such institution, the American Museum of Natural History, volunteered the Hall of Ocean Life as a vaccination site in April 2021. To this day, the Hall’s iconic full-scale blue whale model sports a Band-Aid, itself a fabric, proudly representing the AMNH’s efforts in mitigating New York City’s public health crisis. This tapestry, an abstracted depiction of the blue whale, features a curling bandage, a call for museums to continue following institutions like the AMNH’s example of supporting and providing accessible services to its public.
