In den Dresdner Kunstsammlungen wurde eine Kolonialismus-Ausstellung vor der Eröffnung abgesagt – wegen angeblicher Meinungsverschiedenheiten mit der Kuratorin Zoé Samudzi. Diese äußert sich nun zu ihren Rückzugsgründen.
"…#museums and other #CulturalInstitutions, including some very, very big ones, to my eye they’re reluctant to use their #influence.
The #NewYorkPublicLibrary probably could be doing a lot more to support digital rights around #eBooks, for example. Or they could be releasing a lot of the books as eBooks and saying, we own the book, we can release it as an eBook. They don’t want to do that because they don’t want to antagonize the #publishers right now."
