Amy Sadao on Museums as the New Public Sphere

What role do art museums and exhibition institutions play in creating political dialogue? How is highlighting work by and about marginalized populations a form of social justice activism? On episode 13 of the Imagine Otherwise podcast, Cathy Hannabach chats with curator and director of the Philadelphia Institute of Contemporary Art Amy Sadao about the role of art in social change, how ethnic studies informs Amy's AIDS activism and curating practice, why we need more radical art and curators of color, and creating diverse community in Philadelphia.
