At Luce, we support museums that act as open forums for creative expression and visual arts-centered dialogues about the past, present, and future of the United States. For #InternationalMuseumDay, we’re highlighting " The Shape of Power: Stories of Race and American Sculpture,” at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in DC. Drawing from the largest collection of American sculpture in the world, The Shape of Power takes this understudied field. It interrogates how sculpture intersects with the history of race in the United States. Its interrogation of art as an expression of resistance underscores the value of the museum space.

Last month, The Texas Tribune presented a full-day program on "Telling the story of religion in Texas through journalism" in partnership with the Institute for Diversity and Civic Life, Religion News Service and Southern Methodist University's Religious Studies department. This Luce-sponsored symposium tackled the complexity of Texas and religion, asking questions like: How is this diversity of faith represented in the media? What stories are being told—and what’s being overlooked? Catch up on some of the conversations here: (fb)
