This week Marabou is thinking about museum bureaucracy, more specifically, a museum’s board of trustees.

Tues, Jan 22: 46% of American museum boards are all white (This stat is from a 2017 American Alliance of Museums (AAM) survey). How can museum boards become more diverse?

Wed, Jan 23: The Sackler Family: Big Donors to Museums and Owners of Purdue Pharma (producer of OxyContin). Marabou explores action taken by photographer Nan Goldin and other artists to remove the Sackler name from museums.

Thus, Jan 24: Continuing action to remove the Whitney Museum’s Vice Chairman. There will be a town hall on Saturday, Jan 26th to discuss how to move forward.

Shoutout to friend Christina Chan for bringing Tuesday and Wednesday’s content to Marabou’s attention!
