Event Summary
Museums as Systems 2026
Additional Details
Museums as Systems 2026 explores the idea of “Black study” as both a method and a practice. Black study is an expansive term for how knowledge is produced, held, and shared among and within the diaspora. This year’s panel discussions consider the power and possibility of Black study, looking to ultimately challenge extractive models of interpretation and engagement. The program centers forms of study that are collective and grounded in lived experience, inspired and influenced by Black art and Black culture.

Black Study in Scoring
Description
This session explores how Black poetics can reorganize the sensory and social structures of museums, and asks what lessons from poetry can help institutions frame images and archives. Drawing from artistic, musical, and choreographic traditions, participants will consider the practice of “scoring an image”: translating visual material into instructions, sounds, or poetic fragments that invite repetition, variation, and collective activation rather than fixed interpretation.
