Museum 2.0

JANUARY 15, 2014

This week, my colleague Emily Hope Dobkin has a beautiful guest post on the Incluseum blog about the Subjects to Change teen program that Emily runs at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. Subjects to Change isn''t an art club or a history group. It''s about empowerment and community leadership through art and history.

Community First Program Design At the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History , we've gravitated towards a "community first" program planning model. Emily started by honing in on local teens' assets: creativity, activist energy, desire to make a difference, desire to be heard, free time in the afternoon. It's pretty simple.

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 were using music, dance, poetry, and storytelling, and they were succeeding. Can you talk a little bit about why they used arts, and why it was an effective tool?
