Museum 2.0

NOVEMBER 18, 2014

As one African-American artist on a prominent museum board told me, "I felt even more tokenized than if I had been part of some kind of Artists'' Council or African-American Council." We tried to develop the best leadership program we could imagine, rooted in our museum''s collaborative, creative approach.

Our museum is highly participatory: plenty of opportunities for visitors to contribute, for artists to collaborate, for community members to co-create. Over the past year, our board and staff have leaned into the political nature of what we do, developing a theory of change with community impact at its heart. Empowerment?

For the first time, this year's Games for Change Festival created an opportunity for producers of games in development to get live feedback from leading game designers, educators, and funders on the main stage. The empowerment of girls in third world countries is a topic many corporate sponsors are looking to endorse.

Instead of designing programming and then seeking out audiences for it, we identify communities and then develop programs that are relevant to their assets and needs. Develop collaborations and programs, keeping in mind what you have learned. There is a strong community of Oaxacan artists, dancers, and musicians in Live Oak.

I was able to participate thanks in part to professional development grants from Arizona Commission on the Arts and Sigma Alpha Iota. I found many parallels between the history and development of the design museum and of the MIM.

The genocide selectively targeted the educated: doctors, lawyers, and scientists, but also artists and poets were all annihilated so as to make room for this zero culture, people with no expression, no personalities, no agendas. I just had it developed. It's from 1984 and I had it developed six months ago. We had fun, we played.

Britt Bravo: In so many of the groups you profiled, the women were using the arts for education, empowerment, or healing. I co-developed and co-taught a series of summer executive institutes at Stanford about women and leadership. BB: What advice do you have for artists who want to use their art for social change?
