This article explores an education project in which artist Fred Wilson, poets from Lincoln Center's Poet-Linc program, and the Met Museum Education Department collaborated to produce a teen-led spoken-word poetry performance in the Met's galleries. Wilson drew from his own knowledge of the collection to facilitate a group dialogue about objects across collection areas that highlight Black history, connecting objects such as European paintings to those in the special exhibition "Kongo: Power and Majesty." The teens worked over months with poet-educator Jose Olivarez to write poems that drew from visual analysis, art-historical research, and personal reflection, which were ultimately performed for an audience of a few hundred. The project, though short in duration, can be seen as part of a larger shift to highlight the voices and histories of people of color in the museum's narrative of art history.
