“Media anxiety over . . . [political issues in Smithsonian exhibition, The West as America: Reinterpreting Images of the Frontier, 1820-1920} may auger trouble ahead. But considering the potent role of art in ritualizing nationalist myths, it seems that art communities have it in their hands to restore to view the visual evidence of different histories and dissenting meanings and in the process, to revive critical intelligence in the public discussion of culture. . . .”

I appeared in a panel discussion and artist presentation (I'm not presenting, just discussing) with scientists at MoNA November 7, 2018 1:30pm. Coffee and brownies were served. See https://www.monamuseum.org/event/coffee-surge-artists-scientists
There is now a podcast on Soundcloud of this presentation/discussion
