A long time ago my mother told me the Ferri family (in Italy) was prosperous and religious. They had many statues & other art of the religious nature. That ancestor loaned money to those in need and was never repaid so the family sold off the art.
While researching that branch of the family, I discovered this. It now belongs to the Boston Museum of Fine Art.
On June 3, attendees to the AAM Virtual Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo came together to hear from Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole, Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III, and Lori Fogarty on the museum field’s role in combating racism.
This is an opportunity to come together with colleagues to listen to these powerful voices, but also to process the weight of the current moment together as we look to rebuild our field and our society for the better.
