The Studio Museum in Harlem Museums as System 2024 program embarks on a series of insightful discussions centered around the theme "interdependence." Each day of the convening highlights a distinct facet of interdependent relationships within museums: Museums and Artists, Museums and Arts & Culture Workers, and Museums and Publics.

This conversation examines the barriers to entry within museums while reflecting on how we have seen and hope to further advance the Black imagination. We will invite attendees into reflection on how to center collective learning and community engagement as the priority within museum spaces. This panel explores how educators, curators and artists can co-create sustainable and dynamic museum spaces.
