Urban Poverty tour

Here is a tour developed by Terry Edam for a sociology class at the U of MN:

Tour University of Minnesota March 2

Per Terry:

The topic is Urban Poverty with an eye on how museums historically have reflected in their art–and served–a more dominant culture and what museums like MIA have been doing to address this more recently. It’s part of a larger conversation about urban planning and marginalization.

From the Professor:
My students have been interested in ways in which institutions have become more inclusive of their representations of art as well as outreach efforts to a wider range of audiences.
Theme:
Seeing Yourself at Mia*: Cultural Inclusion and Community Outreach. *Mia translates to “Mine” in many languages.
