MA Curatorial Practice at the School of Visual Arts

Hosted by Steven Henry Madoff, Founding Chair of the MA Curatorial Practice at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

The Curatorial Roundtable, an international forum for curators and institutional leaders to discuss formative and current projects, is hosted by Steven Henry Madoff, Founding Chair of the MA Curatorial Practice at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.Dare Turner is an enrolled member of the Yurok Tribe of California, an art historian, and the Curator of Indigenous Art at the Brooklyn Museum. In 2024, she co-organized the museumwide initiative titled "Preoccupied: Indigenizing the Museum" at the Baltimore Museum of Art, which included nine exhibitions, interpretative interventions across the museum, a publication guided by Native methodologies, and an array of public programs. At the Brooklyn Museum, she has curated Aaniin: I See Your Light, which utilized beadwork designs by Nico Williams to transform the museum’s outdoor plaza, and co-curated Towards Joy: New Frameworks for American Art, a radical reimagining of the American Wing guided by Indigenous ways of knowing and Black feminist theory. Her writing has been featured in exhibition catalogs including Preoccupied: Indigenizing the Museum; Towards Joy: New Frameworks for American Art; Into the Time Horizon: Nevada Museum of Art; Re/Framing the View: Nineteenth-century American Landscapes; and Agents of Faith: Votive Objects in Time and Place.In this talk, Turner will explore the questions: What does it mean to Indigenize museums? How is that effort different from decolonizing museums? And why is that distinction important? She will discuss the exhibitions she opened in 2024, insights from her curatorial practice, and what the future holds for the Indigenous art collection at the Brooklyn Museum.
