damn, a lot of people coming out to defend institutions that profit off of the imperialistic tactic of profiting off of artifacts from other cultures this morning 🧐 “but how will we preserve the HISTORY?” sounds like there needs to be a little more deconstruction (lol) there
i literally wrote this the moment i woke up, so please forgive my run on. stranding up for a museum is a mood... not a good one. the symbol of a "cultural" safe haven is very comical. usually seen as a place for the "cultural elite" (think about that one)
to wax poetic about how far "society" has advanced or specific art installations that reflect such(pls don't twist that artists, pls show up and do things right) - this while often not having direct relation or representation from that society
*standing (i'm still sleepy, i am drinking coffee, everything is okay)
a lot of this reminds me of the adaptation of the "tourist of history" method - where your chosen medium for interacting with history is feel good capitalism vacation. profiting off of the spoils of imperialism...
