Abbe Museum Presentation

From Collaboration to Decolonization at the Abbe Museum

Julia Gray, Director of Collections & Research at the Abbe Museum in Bar Harbor, will speak about the ways in which the Abbe has been building collaborative relationships with Wabanaki people and communities, leading up to the decolonization work that guides the museum today. Examples of collaboration through collections, exhibits, and programs will be viewed though a framework of decolonizing museum practice, and connected to the broader work of decolonization in contemporary American society.
