I'm working on a personal project (slowly) to open a cafe/bar venue that is also a design incubator for participatory exhibits. We all felt like the process was too alien to our work environments, too hard to sell, too hard to integrate. Recently, I've been wrestling a lot with the relationship between innovation and impact.

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.
