Watch this clip from “Black Panther” showing the museum scene (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_ngDuZaJqo)
and read this article on that scene: “Why Museum Professionals Need to Talk About Black Panther,” an op-ed written by student Casey Haughin published on the John Hopkins University Online Museums Journal, The Hopkins Exhibitionist, in 2018: (https://jhuexhibitionist.wordpress.com/2018/02/22/why-museum-professionals-need-to-talk-about-black-panther/).
Then respond to the following discussion board prompts (at least 200 words):
Now that we’ve spent two weeks on African art and have discussed the relationship to Western artists and art museums, what is your reaction or response to this Black Panther clip? If you’ve already seen the film, has your perspective changed at all?
Do you agree with the author? Why/why not? Is there anything else that museums in the U.S. and Europe can do to make their institutions “relevant and respectful for all visitors?”
