Hear from Lonnie G. Bunch III, Secretary of the #Smithsonian Institution, who shared his thoughts on the opportunity this unprecedented time offers to place renewed importance on the value of the arts and humanities as part of AHRC's #BoundlessCreativity campaign.
“The dual pandemic of racism and deadly disease has taken a toll on our physical, emotional and economic wellbeing but organisations promoting the arts and humanities should take the lead in recovery.
We can address the health crisis by equipping the public with knowledge, explain the science and disseminate best practices to keep our audiences and employees healthy. We can also address the crisis of #racism by fighting fear and blame with hope, encouragement, education and inspiration.
Although we’re going through massive challenges, I believe cultural institutions can lead the way in finding solutions and making this moment truly #transformative.”
