“Hindsight Insight 2.0: Portraits, Landscapes, and Abstraction,” from the UNM Art Museum is a hybrid project space and exhibition devoted to complicating existing narratives about racism, decolonization, and gender stereotypes within museum collections while de-centering curatorial authority and institutional voice. Created and curated by museum staff and collaborators, the exhibition features over 60 portraits, landscapes, and abstract artworks from the UNM Art Museum collection.
