                "Framing Absence in Museums" with Maggie Unverzagt Goddard '11

Using public humanities as a method, Maggie Unverzagt Goddard explores different strategies for representing and contending with what is missing in museum and memorial spaces. She uses absence as a critical frame to examine cultural production and sites of memory. Investigating the potential problems and possibilities of exhibiting, correcting, and honoring what is absent, she directs attention to what is lost or missing to invite new ways of looking. Through absence, she works toward curatorial strategies and public art policies that engage complex histories, grapple with complicity, and work toward more just futures.
