I''ve now been the executive director of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History for three years. Participatory work can be very labor-intensive. We''ve gotten pretty good at doing this at museum programs, but it gets more complicated when we are working with a bonded group like a homeless center or a school tour.

For a long time, I knew I cared deeply about designing from "me to we" --inviting visitors to form social connections through participatory experiences--but I couldn't express a clear reason why. Social bridging is becoming my why. We bond with the friends we grew up with, the people we work and play with.
