I write this piece in good faith about the organizations I know best: museums. The vast majority of American museums are institutions of white privilege. They tell histories of white male conquest. I never saw comparable adjectives used in the European art labels at the museum.

I''ve now been the executive director of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History for three years. We talk a lot at our museum about empowering our visitors, collaborators, interns, and staff by making space for them to shine. We''re investing a lot in a public plaza project outside of the museum. Sometimes it isn''t.

When I started this blog in 2006, I made a multi-media introduction to the concept of "museum 2.0" based on Tim O'Reilly's four key elements of Web 2.0: Venue as content platform instead of content provider: the museum becomes a stage on which professionals and amateurs can curate, interpret, and remix artifacts and information.
