Originally Presented on
Saturday, September 26, 2020
The entire program is now available to view above and on our YouTube page.
Our opening day panel will explore how historic house museums can leverage their architectures and legacies to connect the past with the present. We will also discuss how the site-specific work of Young and Horibuchi draws on family, history, architecture, and museum practices to explore how house museums can bridge our understanding of the past to current discourses on representation, truth, and the role of exhibitions.
The panel is presented in association with EXPO CHICAGO and features Nate Young, Mika Horibuchi, Kekeli Sumah, and three guest speakers: Ann Lui, Assistant Professor of Practice at the University of Michigan and founding principal of Future Firm; Ross Jordan, Curatorial Manager at the Jane Addams Hull House Museum; and Stephanie Cristello, Artistic Director of EXPO CHICAGO.
