Museum 2.0

JUNE 24, 2010

Last week, I visited the Wing Luke Asian Museum in Seattle. The guide, Vi Mar, was an incredible facilitator. She did several things over the course of the tour to make it participatory, and she did so in a natural, delightful way. But participatory facilitation can be taught. What if it isn't what I expected?

On Sunday April 5, I’ll be conducting a collaborative experiment with 15 intrepid University of Washington graduate students, and I’d like to invite you to join in from your own hometown. To kick off the course, we’re doing a simple exercise at the Seattle zoo (but you can do it anywhere). Get two strangers talking to each other.

I called in to participate in a radio show in Seattle , then zoomed downtown for meetings, after which I headed home to cook for a dinner party. I still get fidgety listening to the podcast, but now I see it as an artifact of a supremely conducted participatory project rather the sole product of the process. They really cared about me.
