Does that sound hyperbolic? It is, a bit. It’s time to abolish what musuems have been in order to see what they can be, how we can be. “Museums exert control over how we vision ourselves, past, present and future. They are the time loops that hold and hoard the works of art that can help us chart a course towards collective liberation. Through maintaining control of a broad swath of artworks and artifacts the museum maintains control of the tools that we use to tell stories about ourselves, the tools we use to think about what we can be. There is an opportunity in the abolition of museums to create something caring and joyful.” – Hyperallergic
