Episode 8: Nothing About Us, Without Us A Guide to Art, Activism, & Culture

- Arts
Today I am sitting down with archeologist and museum professional, James Doyle, who spoke with me about their exhibition "Arte del Mar: Artistic Exchange in the Caribbean" (2019-2021) featured at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. "Arte del Mar" (Art From The Sea) was the second exhibition at The Met to explore the cultural, ritual, and political interconnections between the Taíno civilizations of the Antilles archipelago. In this episode, James shares his curatorial and research practice, exploring new ways to presenting non-Western art in museums, and the recent cultural and social shifts in museums to address systemic racism and land acknowledgements via their collections.
