Occupy Museums

Occupy Museums is an activist movement that emerged in response to economic inequality and the influence of wealth in the arts. Inspired by the broader Occupy Wall Street movement, it seeks to challenge the commercialization of art institutions and advocate for social and economic justice within the cultural sector. Participants organize protests, engage in discussions, and create exhibitions that highlight issues like income disparity and the need for inclusivity in the arts. Essentially, Occupy Museums aims to make art accessible to all and calls for a reevaluation of how art institutions operate in society.
