Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic isn’t going to completely disappear with the ball drop—meaning New Year’s Eve celebrations will have to look a little different this year. Virtual events have become the norm for so many of us this year so why should it be any different during the holiday season? Virtual Game Night. Games are fun.

I eagerly read about a new social psychology research study in which whites, Asians, and Latinos engaged in a simple collaborative activity--making a music video together. When the music video was not focused on Mexican culture, no such change occurred. But how do we know whether these efforts are working?

Toward the end, a young man, who worked with urban kids of color on media and music, commented that he didn’t really know how to get access to the kinds of things available, and he noticed how few people of color were in the room. And aren’t those different that the issues other groups of people face? Right, right, right.

Teenagers are often the target for participatory endeavors, and they definitely have high interest in creative expression, personalizing museum experiences, and using interactive or technological tools as part of their visit.

We took a break from the galleries, had a drink, and listened to the music as we chatted about our experience. Sometimes we are enjoying the music and sometimes we are playing it. These displays were memorable.

And this leads to a basic question, one I haven't figured out: how do you encourage visitors to participate when they speak different languages? Many fabulous participatory projects--like the Johnny Cash Project or the Art Gallery of Ontario's " In Your Face "--don't require language. So what are the options?

Why the Video Contest Worked Video contests are one of the most challenging kinds of participatory projects to pull off. I'm biased, because she's demonstrating a participatory project, but she was able to "show, not tell" her interest in engaging with people. Music videos. Two very different ones from Davin and Kerry.

It was even more useful to learn how participatory writing visions can be. What's different about your life, your work? These included ideas like "musical chairs job shadowing," "foot massage conference-call room," and "more meetings in public settings." For me, writing a vision was empowering, exciting, and useful.

When I heard the tollbooth story, I started thinking about gifting as a model for participatory experiences in museums. This post discusses participatory gifting in three parts: the why, the what, and finally, the how. You gift the community a book review, I gift an overlapping community a music review. That may be true.

Imagine a music store where each CD lists the names of the last 20 people to pick it up, and what those people ultimately bought. Travel is a nice analogy; when people travel abroad, they often strike a different balance of engagement with strangers than they do at home, out of a desire to learn the culture, meet "real" people, etc.

Maybe it's a live music concert, or a museum visit, or a play. Museums and other venues are offering special programs for teens, for hipsters, for people who want a more active or spiritual or participatory experience. For myself personally, this gulf rears its head every time I go to a live music concert. You have a great time.
