In 2012, the Museum of Modern Art held a symposium titled “How Are We Performing Today?” Focused on performance within the museum, speakers grappled with the subject of a “migration from the margin to the center of contemporary art [and museum] discourse.” It was an important opportunity to consider how the institution(al) – including their narratives, practices and audiences – can devise strategies to respond actively to subjects of representation, inclusiveness and culture diversity.
