摘要

2020年5月,乔治·弗洛伊德(George Floyd)被明尼阿波利斯警方谋杀,导致许多机构撰写并发表声明,反对种族主义,承诺改变,并声称与黑人社区团结一致。作者们看到了一个机会,通过从表面上看这些陈述,对它们进行检查,并进行内容分析,来汇编数据,评估我们这个领域对种族平等的承诺。在我们看来,大多数声援声明都代表了博物馆在接触黑人社区和有色人种社区方面所做的最大努力,并阐明了它对与这些社区关系的重视。这种对“尽最大努力”的评估告诉我们,几十年来一直是热门话题的种族平等和正义取得了适度的进展,但研究结果表明,只有一小部分美国博物馆公开面对他们在白人至上文化中的同谋,从董事会和员工的构成到收藏、展览和项目中的主要内容。作者挑战了这一现状,提供了新的资源作为另一个起点,帮助邀请博物馆识别和检查其机构内的种族主义,并呼吁更真诚地致力于消除系统性不平等的困难但必要的步骤。

Nothing can be Changed Until it is Faced: Museum Solidarity Statements as Reflections of Understanding Systemic Racism

The May 2020 murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police led many institutions to write and share statements opposing racism, committing to change, and claiming solidarity with the Black community. The authors saw an opportunity to compile data and assess the commitment of our field to racial equity by taking the statements at face value, examining them, and performing a content analysis. In our view, most statements of solidarity would represent a museum's best effort at reaching out to Black communities and communities of color, and at articulating the value it placed on its relationship with those communities. This assessment of “best effort” tells us that there is moderate progress toward the racial equity and justice that has been a hot topic for decades, but the findings suggest that only a fraction of U.S. museums are publicly facing their complicity in White supremacy culture, from the make-up of their boards and staff to the dominant content found in collections, exhibitions, and programs. The authors challenge this status, provide new resources as yet another starting point to help invite museums identify and examine the racism that lies within their institutions, and call for a more genuine commitment to the difficult but necessary steps to eliminate systemic inequity.
