The Future of Art Museums is You

When you think of cultural and societal revolution, you may not first think of an art museum, but after this TEDx Talk you just might. Through my own experiences within art museums I have come to realize the power art holds, the unique abilities of the museum platform itself, and the underlying issues of corruption and discrimination that sadly plague these institutions. After exposure to this, I now prompt everybody, especially teenagers, to engage with these issues, working to solve them by visiting art museums themselves, strengthening their voices within these institutions, and using them as a platform for cultural change.
