It’s about a former curator at the Worcester Art Museum, who is suing senior leadership at the museum, accusing them of discrimination.
WBUR Arts Reporter Cristela Guerra reports that according to the lawsuit, former curator Rachel Parikh was “mocked and ridiculed because she is a brown-skinned South Asian” Indian woman and was “subjected to a hostile and offensive work environment."
