Museums should honor the everyday, not just the extraordinary | Ariana Curtis | TED Talk

In “Museums should honor the everyday, not just the extraordinary,” museum curator Ariana Curtis discusses race, female representation and identity to challenge ideas about women in art. Curtis explains how museum leadership can amplify diverse perspectives (that should have always been included) by honoring the lives of people both extraordinary and everyday, prominent and hidden. In this visionary talk, Curtis says this new approach to art will not only develop greater cultural competence in museums, but create more gender equity and diversity and inclusion in society as well.
