Who Says, Who Shows, What Counts Block Museum of Art, September 22 - 5, 2021 How do artists, artworks, and museums shape and challenge our understanding of the past? In 2020-2021 Northwestern University’s Block Museum of Art celebrated its 40th anniversary. Leading up to this milestone, The Block introduced a major initiative to acquire works of art that encourage critical thinking about the representation of history. This initiative and The Block’s anniversary celebration culminates with Who Says, Who Shows, What Counts: Thinking about History with The Block’s Collection, an exhibition inviting visitors to think critically about how artists, artworks, and museums engage with narratives of the past.
