The 2020 Obermann Humanities Symposium, "What Can Museums Become?", will bring together a distinguished group of museum directors, curators, educators and artists who will reflect on the transformative work that museums perform in the twenty-first century.

Friday’s Keynote lecture: “Relationality and Performance: A Critical Genealogy” will be delivered by Amelia Jones, a feminist curator who is also the Robert A. Day Professor and Vice Dean of Research at the Roski School of Art and Design at University of Southern California (Los Angeles) will explore the ways that performance artists have engaged audiences actively in their work over the past half century.

Marty Scholtz, Vice President for Research, University of Iowa, will introduce the lecture.
