Museum 2.0

MAY 21, 2014

When I look back at some recent projects that I''m most excited about (like this teen program ), I realize that I had very little to do with their conception or execution. We talk a lot at our museum about empowering our visitors, collaborators, interns, and staff by making space for them to shine. Naming our goals and our culture.

It is multi-disciplinary, incorporates diverse voices from our community, and provides interactive and participatory opportunities for visitor involvement. This post focuses on one aspect of the exhibition: its participatory and interactive elements. So many museum exhibitions relegate the participatory bits in at the end.

A group in their late teens/early 20s were wandering through the museumwide exhibition on love. When I walked by the first time, the teens were collaging and Kyle and Stacey were talking. I don't know what formed the bridge between the artists and the teens in this circumstance. Kyle had brought his baby with him.

One of our core programming goals is to build social capital by forging unexpected connections between diverse collaborators and audience members. Single-speaker lectures languish while lightning talks featuring teen photographers, phD anthropologists, and professional dancers are packed.
