Last Sunday each of us wrote a post to answer the question, “Who is your favorite artist (visual, dancer, performer, writer or musician) and why?” Institute for Social Ecology : "A ten-day program for artists, performers, activists, and media makers who wish to create and examine socially engaged art and media projects."

Museum 2.0

JULY 1, 2011

Yesterday, a lovely article came out in the local paper about what we're trying to do to become a thriving community hub. The first part is saying yes and being open to the community." I've now been the Director of The Museum of Art & History in Santa Cruz for two months. What do we have to do differently?"

A large number of the collaborative projects of which I'm aware (in which staff partner with community members to co-develop exhibits or programs) are initiated with teens. Teens more commonly use the Web to stay in touch with their pre-existing social groups than to join new communities based on content affinities or interests.

I've written before about the inspiring work that the Brooklyn Museum of Art is doing with their community-focused efforts. They're now running a compelling experiment in crowd-sourced exhibition creation and curation via the photography exhibition Click. All evaluations are private; all artists are unnamed. Let's start simple.

A place that truly sees these initiatives as part of their mission to serve their local community. Tell me about the background for the Brooklyn Museum’s community web component. Everything here is mission-driven, and we have a mission that’s very much about the visitor experience and community. Is there such a place?

Here are some examples of ways people have used the arts to create social impact: 50 Crows Social Change Photography "Images inspire people to act. Examples of socially rousing photography permeate our history: Vietnam, Rwanda, 9-11’s Ground Zero. We use song as a tool for organizing in communities around the country."

Have Fun - Do Good

NOVEMBER 28, 2007

I've now documented women's lives in 40 countries, over the past 10 or 12 years, and everywhere I went, I found women who were helping each other, local women. They write poems about their experiences, and when they recite them in community meetings, their neighbors are outraged, and mobilized immediately to action.
