Participatory work can be very labor-intensive. I can''t harbor secret hopes that everyone will like it or that I can change their minds with goodwill.

I get that they are places. But places are sites for people to congregate paid for by people and planned by people. With that in mind, I turned the question of “who is a museum” to the people, here and on my social platforms, even my personal ones. It’s a place for people to explore. I wonder how people-centered it was.

LOCAL INSTITUTION : Your community is a definable group of people connected by place.
