All History Is Contemporary Panel

Please join Sean Corcoran, Jody Graf, and
Dr. Gervais Marsh for a lively conversation on recent exhibition projects and the ways curators engage with history through contemporary perspectives. When facing challenges, we often turn to history for answers, yet the same historical moments present their own complexities, fractures, and trauma. How do we ascertain, assemble, and respond to the past?
