This week, we're talking “Performative Pride!” While LGBTQ+ programming in museums is essential, sometimes artistic spaces fall into the same trap of performative Pride--similar to what we see in many commercial Pride campaigns. We play a little game inspired by a TikTok that critiques this year’s pride merch and then discuss museums’ role in Pride.
