▪️ Museums are not neutralThe senseless murder of George Floyd, the last of a harrowing list, reminds us that there is a long way to achieve racial equality —and the time to act is now. As highly trusted institutions, museums have the responsibility and duty to fight racial injustice and anti-black racism at all levels. We urge all museums to join us in keeping the momentum going.Read our statement and the one from Lonnie G. Bunch, Secretary of the Smithsonian and Co-Chair of ICOM US.

Museums have a huge role in challenging narratives and educating the public to #FightRacism.👐 📸Last October, the ICOM training programme “Museums for reconciliation: communities, pedagogies and memories” closed with a concert of “Integración Pacífica”, a group of Afrocolombian elderly women who have been displaced during the conflict and who have found in music a way of telling their stories and of overcoming their suffering. #IMD2020 #Museums4Equality
