social justice in museums

Social justice in museums involves actively recognizing and addressing historic and ongoing inequalities related to race, gender, ethnicity, and other identities. It aims to create inclusive spaces that respect diverse cultures, voices, and histories, ensuring all communities feel valued and represented. This includes equitable collection practices, inclusive programming, and community engagement. By doing so, museums work toward repairing past exclusions and fostering understanding, fairness, and representation for marginalized groups, making cultural preservation accessible and relevant to everyone.
