the danger with specialized museums and dedicated galleries is that this history is cloistered away, rather than entwined through the narratives of every collection. It’s the Black History Month fallacy: the idea that all it takes to correct deeply entrenched bias and exclusion is four weeks of focus, rather than showing these stories and figures in their contexts, constantly. We see a handful of names and faces, but in the relentless focus on the history-book great individuals and their contributions, the picture is only ever incomplete.
