Building and Sustaining Indigenous Cultural Institutions of Today

At a moment when museum professionals and cultural workers are questioning the structures and founding principles of older museums and cultural institutions that came out of earlier colonial contexts, this program looks at the more recent history of an organization largely dedicated to serving Indigenous populations. Join Jeremy Dennis, Photographer and Founder of Ma’s House, for this timely discussion about how this site has made an impact on our local and national communities, as well as its broader connections to the work of Holocaust education museums.
This event is part of the 2023-24 Human Rights and the Museum Series, a collaboration between the Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center (KHC) and the Museum and Gallery Studies Program in the Art and Design Department at Queensborough Community College (QCC).
