Description

Gathering of Strangers: Why Museums Matter is a thought-provoking exploration of the critical challenges and opportunities facing public institutions in the 21st century. Maria Balshaw examines the roles and responsibilities of galleries, museums, and art spaces in engaging with society, reflecting on their histories, objects, and ideas. Balshaw considers key debates around art and public engagement, the climate emergency, race equality, decolonisation, and the value of arts in education. This book sets out the role of art and artists in shaping our collective future, offering a nuanced perspective on the museum's place within society. A love letter to the museum, Gathering of Strangers is also a call to action, encouraging institutions to unlock conversations with their communities and navigate the complexities of change.
