In a time when students and museum professionals are questioning the structures and even the founding principles of older museums and cultural institutions, this program looks at the more recent creation of the American LGBTQ+ Museum in New York City. Featuring Ben Garcia, the Museum’s Executive Director and Suhaly Bautista-Carolina, Director of Public Programs & Partnership.

This event is part of the 2023-24 Human Rights and the Museum Series, a collaboration between the Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center (KHC) and the Museum and Gallery Studies Program in the Art and Design Department at Queensborough Community College (QCC). It is co-sponsored by the Museum Studies MA Program at the CUNY School of Professional Studies; the QCC-CUNY LGBTQIA+ Consortium; the Ray Wolpow Institute for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity at Western Washington University; the Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies at the US Military Academy at West Point; the Holocaust & Human Rights Center in White Plains; and the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights at Rutgers University.
