In the free virtual talk "Curating as Praxis: Shattering the Myth of Neutrality," cultural organizer La Tanya S. Autry discusses dismantling oppressive forces through applying knowledge to real world conditions in museums. She highlights various curatorial strategies she has implemented to disrupt institutional violence and build care for those most harmed. Autry also indicates a range of approaches that students to museum professionals can engage to enact structural change.

The Henry Sheldon Museum presents the "Elephant in the Room" lecture series with support from Vermont Humanities. This talk received additional support from the Middlebury College Department of American Studies and the Committee on the Arts.
