Visual artist Gala Porras-Kim discusses the projects she worked on during her residency at Getty Research Institute (2020–2022). Her works explore the afterlives of objects held in museum collections, and the ways they are subject to institutional paradigms of classification, conservation, and display. To address how museological frameworks obscure the ongoing spiritual life of objects, Porras-Kim offers a series of speculative interventions into how stewardship is enacted in institutional policy.

The conversation will be available on the Getty Research Institute YouTube channel following the event.
