Nina has written a fantastic book engagement called The Participatory Museum. A third argues that the project won’t be truly participatory unless users get to define what content is sought in the first place. I’ve been using these participatory categories to talk about how we’d like users to participate in different projects.

Over the past year, I've noticed a strange trend in the calls I receive about upcoming participatory museum projects: the majority of them are being planned for teen audiences. Why are teens over-represented in participatory projects? The first of these reasons is practical.

Across sports, there is a deliberate embrace of practice at all levels to strengthen participation. When we talk about embracing participatory experiences at non-professional levels, arts professionals often get worried that the best work will get drowned out in mediocrity.

I had lots of creative formats for drawing people out, sharing stories, and working collaboratively. It's an easy read, and if you're like me, you'll want to put it into practice right away.

We invited community members in, to be active contributors, collaborators, and co-creators in our museum space. We had incredible success transforming our institution into a vibrant cultural center. We focus on people who are culturally curious, actively creative… but may not see a traditional arts institution as a place for them.
