Welcome to the fifth issue of 2020. The changes that we experienced at the beginning of the year have continued to accelerate, and much of the world is still living under some form of restrictions, and the global economy is still being devastated by the pandemic. With the murders in the United States of America of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, and more recently, the shooting of Jacob Blake, we continue to see growing international support for the Black Lives Matter movement, whose core principles speak to countless racialised people whose voices have been ignored for decades and centuries, around the globe. We cannot abstain from these issues, as we too are an expression of the systemic asymmetries of power and privilege. So what can we do? First, we can voice our support for those fighting for social justice, and acknowledge the necessity of actively reflecting on our roles in systemic and structural racism. Second, we can use our platform to amplify voices and experiences within museums that are under-represented, if represented at all. Third, in addition to producing special issues (such as last year’s issue on Social Justice, and the upcoming issue on Climate Change) we can highlight the articles published in our archive that have regained relevance in the current political context, or that shine a light on how we came to be where we are today.
