Cultural strategist András Szántó will discusses his new book, “The Future of the Museum: 28 Dialogues,” with Corinne Erni, the Senior Curator of ArtsReach and Special Projects at the Parrish Art Museum, in a live-stream talk on Friday, February 12, at 5 PM.
Szántó will provide insights gleaned from his interviews with 28 museum leaders on how museums are adapting to new realities around the world today, and the most promising approaches to those challenges.
As museums worldwide shuttered in 2020 due to the coronavirus, Szántó conducted a series of interviews with an international group of museum leaders. The dialogues offer glimpses of how museums around the globe are undergoing an accelerated phase of reappraisal and reinvention.
“András has created an invaluable snapshot of the current museum conversations and I look forward to exploring with him topics that range from entrepreneurial visions behind new institutions, the examination of art history through new angles and the questioning of the custodians of knowledge, to how COVID and the murder of George Floyd forced museums to engage in new models for radical inclusivity and to be of service in the community,” said Erni.
The talk is part of the Museum’s Friday Nights Live! series. To register, visit parrishart.org.
