Staff members have written and signed their own labels about the artworks they\u2019ve selected, with responses that are by turns thoughtful, vulnerable, creative, angry, sad, and hopeful\u2014echoing the range of reactions we have all felt in these past months. Sometimes these objects take on new meanings as staff members draw inspired connections to other historic moments of disrupture. In other instances, the artworks are beacons for the kind of attention to care and racial justice that this moment demands of us. Through this process, the staff participated in the work we do with students and faculty when we bring them in conversation with the Fleming\u2019s collection: how we use art to communicate to others what feels urgent to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A part of the &#8220;2020 Vision&#8221; statewide exhibition:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/site.uvm.edu\/flemingmuseumofart\/files\/2024\/12\/image-49.jpeg\" alt=\"2020 Vision Logo\" class=\"wp-image-114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.uvm.edu\/flemingmuseumofart\/files\/2024\/12\/image-49.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/site.uvm.edu\/flemingmuseumofart\/files\/2024\/12\/image-49-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fleming Museum of Art is pleased to present the&nbsp;<em>Reckonings<\/em>&nbsp;Exhibition as part of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/vermontcuratorsgroup.com\/\"><em>2020 Vision: Reflecting on a World-Changing Year<\/em><\/a>, a statewide exhibition initiative of the Vermont Curators Group, in-person and online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This exhibition video features each staff member reading their own label while featuring the artwork that inspired them. &nbsp; Fall 2020 &#8211; Spring 2021 Reckonings&nbsp;is an opportunity for the Museum\u2019s staff and student interns to reflect on the past months of 2020 by engaging with objects from the collection.
