This week on The Public Good, our guest is Keiah Shauku, Director of Community Engagement at the ⁠Buffalo AKG Art Museum. ⁠

Over the last six months, AKG has hosted "⁠Before and After Again,"⁠ an artwork, pose, and poetry exhibition featuring Buffalo-based artists and cultural producers Julia Bottoms, Jillian Hanesworth, and Tiffany Gaines. In dialogue with the community, their work responds to the 5/14 tragedy. To mark the exhibition's closing, on October 11, performer Drea D'Nur will present ⁠"A Requiem for Our Suffering,"⁠ a testament to remembrance, grief, and healing, in an event free and open to the public.

Keiah discusses the exhibit, this upcoming event, the role of museums in gatekeeping and community-building, and how we can use art and science to point the way to a more humane future.
