I've been thinking about public education and education as a public good this week, and it reminded me of the amazing work by @justseeds.bsky.social. So much great education-themed art! (Like this one by Pete Railand.)

This semester has been unrelenting… so I am very excited to be headed to San Diego soon for #AARSBLR24 #SBLAAR24! (picture from last year’s journey)

Post a picture you took (no description, but do use alt tags) to bring some zen to the timeline.

In my chapter, "Rituals of Erasure and Transcendence: Exhibiting Indigenous Objects in Art Museums," I discuss the systematic efforts of museums to erase Indigenous history and culture, as well as the ways that contemporary Indigenous art transcends colonial categories and expectations.

It’s here! Happy to have a piece in this excellent volume, Museums as Ritual Sites: Civilizing Rituals Reconsidered, edited by Lieke Wijnia and James Bielo. It’s a great group of contributors with chapters exploring the different ways museums function as ritualized/ritualizing spaces. 🧵
