AAMARP institutional history wall text (Say It Loud exhibition)

2026 (contextualizing events from 1990–1993)

Exhibition wall text

This wall text from Say It Loud: AAMARP 1977 to Now is an example of editorial design in an exhibition context, presenting the curatorial narrative of AAMARP’s institutional history during the early 1990s. The text highlights the program’s relocation to Jamaica Plain, subsequent budget cuts, and the removal of founder Dana C. Chandler Jr., framing this period as both a moment of crisis and resilience.

Rather than being a neutral source of information, the text shapes how viewers interpret historical events by selecting specific details and emphasizing themes of continuity and international expansion. It presents a narrative that positions AAMARP within broader institutional and political struggles.
