The New Orleans Museum of Art has sparked outrage over its decision to hire a white woman as its new curator of African art — citing her “breadth of experience” in the field — rather than a person of color.
“No offense at all and congrats to her! She seems to be qualified given the brief history you all provided, but are there no African, black, or poc that can oversee endeavors like this at NOMA? user Sara Joy Carminati commented on the post. In response, the museum commented that it could not speak on its hiring process, but said Maples’ “breadth of experience and emphasis on sustained collaboration with artists and institutions in Africa and around the world set her apart from other candidates.”
The exhibit is a collaboration with North American and African institutions, including NOMA and the Museum of Black Civilizations in Dakar, Senegal, according to the museum. “We’re listening closely to feedback from New Orleans residents and the public on the appointment of the museum’s new Curator of African Art. We recognize the need for NOMA’s staff and the museum field at large to represent a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives. We take this priority very seriously for positions throughout the institution.
