Exhibits are a form of storytelling and bring collections to life. But, what stories are being told (and perhaps mis-told) in our galleries? Librarians may struggle or avoid interpreting and displaying complex and controversial subjects, but speaker Nick West shares exhibition development approaches that help exhibit teams facilitate dialogs and approach sensitive and controversial subjects evenhandedly and with awareness.

Nick West is the Co-Director of Colgate’s University Museums, Curator of the Picker Art Gallery, and a Research Affiliate in Art and History at Colgate University, with over 20 years of curatorial and exhibition development experience.

A Zoom link will be sent out the week of the event.
