“Another World is Possible”: Liberatory Unionism in the US Art Museum Labor Movement
Art museum workers in the U.S. are in the midst of the most exciting period of labor organizing in decades. Since the launch of the New Museum Union in January 2019, there has been a 223% increase in new organizing at private, not-for-profit art museums alone. Though precarious working conditions long predate the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a boom in organizing in its wake after institutional responses exposed and exacerbated worker exploitation, unsafe working conditions, and layoffs and furloughs, predominantly affecting front-of-house workers.

It was arguably the first big Sunday AM panel post Covid at Comic-Con, as Star Wars creator George Lucas, 3x Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro and Oscar winning Death Becomes Her production designer Doug Chiang gathered to tease to a very packed Hall H, the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.
For Lucas, it was the first time he’s appeared onstage at San Diego Comic-Con.
The panel was narrated by Oscar nominee Queen Latifah.
“It’s a temple to the people’s art,” said Lucas about the Mobius-strip building designed by Ma Yansong which is opening next year near the USC campus in downtown Los Angeles.
“I refused to sell it,” says Lucas whose been collecting myriad comic books and thrifty pieces of art since his youth.
One of Lucas’ inspirations for opening the museum stemmed from the filmmaker needing a place to display his 40,000 pieces of art. But also, it’s about creating an epicenter that pays respect to the myth-telling pop art which has informed our culture.
“(Art) is more about a connection and emotional connection with the work, not how much it cost or what celebrity did it. I don’t think it’s anything anyone will tell you. If you have emotional connection, it’s art. If you don’t, just move onto the next painting,” Lucas added.
del Toro, who is a board member at the new museum, says that after surviving the L.A. fires earlier this year, he’s looking to the new museum as a place to house his own personal collection of art.
Chiang says the museum “is giving respect to an artform that hasn’t been honored before.” The designer credits comic books for setting him on course to a creative career. However, during his youth, comic books were never respected. He gave props to Lucas who told him that when creating any art, it requires a story behind it. Chiang worked in the art department on Star Wars: Episodes I-III and went on to be a production designer on current Disney Lucasfilm projects such as Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Disney+ series The Mandalorian, Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew.

In a world where questions are rife
Where creatures of all sorts
Division of sorts
Are not seen as something to strife
