Abstract
This thesis will critically engage with the absence of female sexuality within Greco-Roman history exhibitions. Throughout this study, a methodological axiom will synthesize Shelly Ruth Butler and Erica Lehrer’s methodology of "curatorial dreaming" with Saidiya Hartman's "critical fabulation" to provide an example of how museums can adopt alternative techniques of displaying underrepresented histories to tell impossible stories from the past. By ushering in a way to explore the history of women's sexuality in Greco-Roman antiquity, this thesis will highlight how museums can engage with the societal perceptions of female eroticism in the past so that it may become better understood in the present. Therefore, this thesis will develop Hartman's method of critical fabulation in a theoretical museum context to demonstrate its use of expanding the contemporary understanding of available historical evidence by fabulating the history of sexuality within Greco-Roman exhibitions to encompass a greater female perspective.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
