As part of the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts’ three-year Institute of Museum and Library Services-funded diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion (DEAI) initiative, the MMFA will present The Hard Truth: Representation and the Arts, a four-part exhibition and lecture series. This year-long series will engage the complex topics related to DEAI—raising awareness for these issues in the museum field while allowing the MMFA to reflect on its own journey.
The Hard Truth Series
Figurative “Real”ity: On view February 1 through March 19, 2023
Breaking Barriers: Artfully Able: On view March 23 through May 14, 2023
The Bias Inside Us: On view June 3 through July 2, 2023
To Tell the Truth: The MMFA’s History: On view August 3 through October 15, 2023
Each installation, curated by Museum Empowered Fellow Savannah Shaon, consists of works from the Museum’s permanent collection that provide a lens through which viewers can contextualize the topics and issues related to DEAI. The accompanying lectures will allow us to elevate community voices and help illuminate a path towards becoming a more welcoming and inclusive community institution.
