In this forum, panellists will consider whether, when the pandemic ebbs, they expect and would welcome a return of these large-scale exhibitions. Or whether they think that the current Covid-related limitations – and the demands for greater focus on social justice and concern for the environment – require a reconsideration of institutional purpose, financial models, and audience needs. Is an imaginative focus on permanent collections and local audiences the path ahead for some institutions and, if so, will audiences and critics shift their expectations accordingly? How best are the interests of knowledge generation served? Is there an opportunity for a greater sharing of resources and expertise across the sector? Will a digital offering need to be re-evaluated as more than a secondary alternative, particularly if audiences remain reluctant to travel?
