Museum 2.0

OCTOBER 23, 2018

We partnered with foster youth, former foster youth, artists, and community advocates to create an exhibition that used art to spark action on issues facing foster youth. It empowered our partners, deeply touched our visitors, and catalyzed real community change. Through Lost Childhoods , we saw youth step into their power.

I want to outline some issues nonprofit organizations may face while trying to build or change their brand. Phoenix Youth At Risk decided to undertake the task of rebranding and changed the name of their organization to New Pathways For Youth. This can make branding more difficult for nonprofits.

Normally I use twitter to follow to network and learn about how others are making changes in the field, expanding audiences, and the history we interpret. We discussed our passion for history, art, and education. We gave each other the minor assignments to watch a movie from our childhood (me Space Jam and her A Goofy Movie) to relax.

At the Sujaya School, I visited a second grade art class. I look forward to seeing how this start up transforms early childhood education in India. They were busy drawing planets or rockets. The teacher introduced me as a visitor from America and asked if there the children wanted to ask me any questions. Stay tuned.

They were off-site for the first time in years, holding a special study session sparked by an exhibition about foster youth, Lost Childhoods. It felt like change was breaking through. It happened because two of our Lost Childhood partners urged it into being. This was not an event orchestrated by the MAH. They set the table.

And once shared effectively, storytelling will change the game for your organization. Since childhood, we have been taught to expect a certain structure for stories to follow. This is the act where the big moment occurs and change is witnessed. A change could be emotional, physical, or circumstantial. See the difference?

This was the very beginning of what we’re calling crowd funding or social fundraising. Will a networked approach to making and funding documentaries , particularly those that are about social change issues become the norm in our connected world? Vince Stehle thinks so as he explained in this guest post about Gasland.

I make art, specifically collages, and am a big fan of sending and receiving written letters, which I think is a lost art. I’m really excited that we have opened up our program to folks with DACA status (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). I cook to de-stress and love feeding people!

The common museum knowledge on this issue is that adults are timid, that we have lost some of the wonder, impulsiveness, and active creativity of childhood days. We've been trying to actively combat this at The Museum of Art & History (MAH) in Santa Cruz. But I don't think that theory holds up. Share your story with other visitors.

It combines expert judging with popular vote, online strategy with good old fashion off line organizing, links objectives to a theory of change, and incorporates a fun and engaging way for people to learn about and take action on a timely community problem.

Sheroes in the Arts. Despite her family's affluence, Lorraine Hansberry's childhood in Chicago during the 1930s was not without hardship, discrimination, and segregation. Gentileschi is remembered, however, as an accomplished Baroque artist whose trials did not define her art. Are you inspired by women in the arts?

Things which seemed universal to me as a boy were in fact very culturally specific to my childhood in southern England and wouldn’t have had any resonance even twenty miles across the English channel in France where their Noël celebrations differ widely. I didn’t realize as a child how traditions vary across the Christian world.

They’ve had enough years to refine their art. Historians can narrate stories of a city’s development or you can tell your own story of fond childhood memories. Zooming in, it’s my dad’s childhood story. Newspapers know how to present information. Typeface sizes matter. The fold matters. Sections matter. Photos matter.

The exhibition is varied, lively, and the art is of high quality. It feels like a vibrant art show. There have been some criticisms that the competition, and this kind of approach, could move art exhibitions from challenging to appeasing populist preferences. How good could it be? It doesn’t feel like an experiment in 2.0.

One example of the incredible change that education can bring to a community is Malaika , a grassroots nonprofit that educates and empowers girls and communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo through a school, a community center, a clean water program, technical classes and and organic farm.
