Join Dr. Dori Tunstall for a lecture examining the Black presence in the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum collection, from 19th-century Congolese status cloths to Art Sim’s Spike Lee film posters. Tunstall will be addressing a gap in the collection’s Black objects and storytelling and will present five design objects and stories representing significant contributions to Black futures of making. Tunstall will then conclude the talk with a call to action for communities to help the museum acquire these objects, as well as appoint Black curatorial staff.
