This week on The Public Good, our guest is Keiah Shauku, Director of Community Engagement at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum.
Over the last six months, AKG has hosted "Before and After Again," an artwork, pose, and poetry exhibition featuring Buffalo-based artists and cultural producers Julia Bottoms, Jillian Hanesworth, and Tiffany Gaines. In dialogue with the community, their work responds to the 5/14 tragedy. To mark the exhibition's closing, on October 11, performer Drea D'Nur will present "A Requiem for Our Suffering," a testament to remembrance, grief, and healing, in an event free and open to the public.
Keiah discusses the exhibit, this upcoming event, the role of museums in gatekeeping and community-building, and how we can use art and science to point the way to a more humane future.
