The Silk Mill is part of the Derby Museums , a public institution of art, history, and natural history. In the fall of 2013, they launched Re:Make , an ambitious project to redevelop the museum, live, on the floor, with a mix of staff, guest artists, and community members. They see it as the future of their museum.

How can a local history museum connect with third places in the community? Identify the third places in your community, learn more about the lives of the people that go to them, and have a basic understanding of the history of third places in the area. One book was about farm life and the other about a knight and his dragon.

I think about how hesitant I was to become an artist, because I didn't see role models, and even to this day how hard it is for me sometimes to find peers who are women of color, because of how systematically they are pushed out. I'm an artist and an institution builder. The kind of art I do is art that gets engaged into the public.
