"As I continue with my fellowship in the Studio Museum archive, I have come to fully appreciate the role the Museum plays as an influencer of Black culture across the world. It is always exciting to see materials in our archive colliding with a greater historical narrative, especially since the Studio Museum holds the honor of being the first art museum dedicated to Black artists."⠀ ⠀ Former Studio Museum Archive Fellow Kayla Coleman reflects on the Studio Museum's early exhibition history, recalling "AfriCobra II," "Impact Africa in 1970," and "Harlem Artists '69." Read Coleman's Studio Magazine article from our archive, among a selection of articles and resources featured in this week's #MuseumsasSystems newsletter—inspired by the panel Safeguarding Our History, which meditated on the theory and practices of/between curation and archives.⠀ ⠀ Visit our link in bio to read from this week's newsletter!⠀ ⠀ —⠀ ⠀ Image: Opening of Impact Africa, 1970.
