Movies at the Museum: From the Outside In
The AAM and Aspen Film present a range of movies that make space for voices often found in the margins. Taking inspiration from the figures and scenes found in Margaret Kilgallen’s exhibition that’s where the beauty is., this film series celebrates how solidarity is created when “outsiders” find their own way in.
