Decolonize This Place leads protest at Brooklyn Museum demanding board diversity and curator resignation

On April 30, Sunday, the activist organization Decolonize This Place staged a protest at the Brooklyn Museum in New York. In the museum's atrium, demonstrators displayed a banner reading 'Decolonize This Museum' while demanding the resignations of director Anne Pasternak and president David Berliner. This event followed an open letter from the group that criticized the selection of Kristen Windmuller-Luna as the consulting curator for African art. Speakers at the protest accused the museum of not adequately representing the local community and called for a more diverse curatorial team. Additionally, they urged for the inclusion of artists and community organizers on the museum's board, with protests continuing outside the building.
