Museum 2.0

MARCH 26, 2019

I was a small fry at a big museum, volunteering for a project I had no business taking on. My boss and mentor Anna often encouraged me to stretch the limits. I learned this terminology later, from Beck Tench , who studies, mentors, and leads institutional change in public space.

I''m getting ready for the American Alliance of Museums conference later this month. In addition to reconnecting with old friends and mentors, I want to meet people who aren''t on my radar who will help me learn and grow. In this way, I''ve found my idols / mentors /friends--and learned a lot from their inspiring sessions.

I''m heading to the American Alliance of Museums'' annual conference this weekend, and I''m psyched to reconnect with friends and mentors and meet new people who can inspire and stimulate fresh ideas. How can small museums with limited resources do some meaningful research with our staff and volunteers? Let me know.

I had a bit of a wakeup call about internships last month at an "emerging leaders" lunch event at the Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums conference. At our museum, we don't provide a lot of structured mentorship for interns. But we are ready to be much more upfront about what the internship experience is like at our museum.

Tenacious, Intelligent, Resourceful, Passionate, Insightful, Caring, Determined, and Fun are among the hundreds of words used to describe my friend and mentor, Simone Joyaux, since her passing last week. She implanted a love of France, history and what true friendships are all about. Simone was absolutely one in a million!

Whether quietly spearheading some of the world's most groundbreaking scientific and medical research or not-so-quietly leading revolutions on the battlefield, our history is ripe with stories of ferocious, adventurous, enlightened, and persistent women.

This year, the American Association of Museums annual conference was in Los Angeles (my hometown). I hosted two sessions, one on design for participation and the other on mission-driven museum technology development. He started with museums as a "place to go"--to see things, consume experiences. In this case, a heck of a lot.

If you think of artists like Gaugin, or artists who paint naked indigenous women-- as women it's easier for us to get into a museum if we're naked in a painting. I encourage everyone to get it, because we also have an essay on the history of the black-and-white political graphic, and tips on how to create design for social justice movements.
