.- People talk a lot about getting back to pre-COVID normal. But our traditional art museums can forget about that. After a year of intense racial-justice reckoning, a paralyzing pandemic and crippling economic shortfalls, aging hidebound institutions are scrambling just to stay afloat. And the only way for them to do so is to change. Strategies for forward motion are needed. One is in play here at the Speed Art Museum, in the form of a quietly passionate show called Promise, Witness, Remembrance, which might, with profit, be studied by other institutions in survivalist mode.

An exhibition to honor the life of Breonna Taylor and the nationwide struggle for racial justice is coming to Louisville s Speed Art Museum.
Following a year defined by the largest racial justice movement in United States history, the exhibition, titled Promise, Witness, Remembrance, will reflect on the life of Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman who was shot and killed by LMPD officers on March 13 during a botched drug raid at her apartment, and the protests that ensued in Louisville for 100-plus days.
Expected to open to the public on April 7 and run through June 6, the exhibit will explore the dualities between a personal, local story and the nation s reflection on the promise, witness, and remembrance of too many Black lives lost to gun violence, according to a news release announcing the planned exhibit.
