How can museums and exhibitions reproduce, challenge, or help transform those understandings and other “rhetorics of value”? Corinne Kratz will use recent exhibitions in Cape Town, South Africa, and Washington, D.C., to consider these questions, examining components such as exhibition content and design, and reviewing particular historical moments that have brought these questions to the fore.</p><p><strong>Free and open to the public</strong></p><p>Presented in collaboration with the Harvard Museums of Science and Culture and the Department of Anthropology, Harvard University.</p><p> </p>
