Aliens and alienation are ever present tropes in our culture, our politics, and our lives. This issue of Fwd: Museums tell stories of estrangement and inclusion, of museums expanding beyond their walls and opening themselves to those who have been unwelcome, of museums failing to do either of these things, of institutions that must revolutionize their missions and practices, and of the workers and visitors who will make that happen. "Alien" includes provocative critiques, celebrations, hidden histories, and manifestos exploring otherness, other world, and other possibilities.
