We are actively committed to racial equity and to building a strong foundation of inclusivity and awareness in all we do. We value discourse that brings forward voices and positions that have been \u2013 and continue to be \u2013 oppressed. We do not tolerate hate speech or actions.<\/p>\n
We recognize that we are in the process of embodying these values across our exhibitions, programs, and operations; this is our ongoing work.<\/p>\n
