FWD: Museums: “Power/Potential”

Power: Having control or authority to dictate or influence people and organizations’ behavior and actions.

Potential: Having the capacity to build or develop a positive outcome in the future.
Power and the potential for power shape the relationships we have between ourselves, our institutions, and our governments.

We relate these two words in this issue of Fwd: Museums to highlight how those being unjustly or unfairly treated have the potential to create their own power.

Produced and edited by the University of Illinois at Chicago Museum and Exhibition Studies graduate students and published by Chicago-based, Bridge Books, Fwd: Museums strives to create a space for challenging, critiquing, and providing alternative modes of thinking and production within and outside of museums.
