This is the second installation in a series of posts on the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History (MAH)'s development of Abbott Square , a new creative community plaza in downtown Santa Cruz. The MAH fundamentally has two jobs: we bring art and history out into our community, and we invite our community in. We want to break out.

Over time the movement and arrangement of things trails a layered aesthetic that convey histories and narratives of changing communities passing through this unfolding three-story artwork. Through the generative potential for use and re-use of things, Elsewhere has arranged a public commons in the form of a shared resource.

--Helene Moglen, professor of literature, UCSC After a year of tinkering, the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History is now showing an exhibition, All You Need is Love , that embodies our new direction as an institution. This post focuses on one aspect of the exhibition: its participatory and interactive elements.

Every once in a while I come across a project I wish I could have included in The Participatory Museum. The exhibition had a real story and theme determined by the young curators. While the museum and the school didn't have a strong history of collaboration, this project seemed reasonable enough to try. it's a Secret! ,

I sat down with Emilyn Green, Executive Director of the Community Science Workshop Network , to learn more about their history, design, and engagement strategy. One thing you''ll notice when you walk in is a ton of user-generated content. We''re just starting to interview our alumni now and creating a catalogue of their stories.

While the majority of experience-based museums like children's and science museums have unrestricted noncommercial photography policies, many collections-based art and history museums continue to maintain highly restrictive photo policies. First, every time a photo is shared, it extends the reach of your objects and exhibit stories.

Side Trip is an immersive environment full of interactive experiences that let visitors share their own stories of the 1960s, make their own rock posters, and explore the music and vibe of the time. I spent a long time reading the stories of first concerts and ogling the posters made by visitors, and I saw lots of other people doing the same.

It''s neither "quick" nor "inexpensive" to mount exhibitions that include diverse community stories. The curators are the humans in the story. I meet them doing research in the archives, collaborating on cultural festivals, and contributing stories to exhibitions. What is the metaphor for participatory arts? Not a crowd.

Our museum in Santa Cruz has been slammed by those who believe participatory experiences have gone too far. We always knew that the inclusion of participatory and community-centered practices in arts institutions was controversial. To me, the backlash against participatory and community-centered experiences is not surprising.

Yesterday, I had the delightful opportunity to participate in the 3six5 project , a yearlong participatory project in which 365 people write 365 journal entries for every day of 2010. It combines personal stories with a sense of being part of something bigger. The project's originators call it "a crowdsourced journal of 2010."

So when people like me start advocating for the creation of tools and opportunities by which visitors can share their stories, reaggregate the artifacts, even rate and review each others' creations, museum professionals of all stripes get concerned.

This post tells my (weird) story. My story is about radical educational philosophy. I didn't grow up staring open-mouthed at natural history dioramas or wandering through art galleries. There are many parallels between free-choice learning and participatory design. But the practicalities are only one part of the story.

Traditional exhibition design, in which the museum has a specific story or message to tell, doesn't easily accommodate visitor co-creation. This realization--that a single museum voice was not the best way to tell a particular story--formed the basis for MN150 , the exhibition explored in this post. So we got down to roughly 400.
