This paper explores some of the most striking strategies used by art institutions across the globe to adapt and reframe their practices in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. It argues that imposing modes of configuring visual and historical narratives through canonical, hierarchical, excluding, and patriarchal systems of categorization not only remain intact but have increased due to the possibilities offered by the digital era.
