Museum 2.0

SEPTEMBER 2, 2015

This summer, we opened two exhibitions at my museum that are highly relevant to local culture. Princes of Surf is about the young Hawaiian princes who brought surfing to the Americas 130 years ago--relevant because they did it in Santa Cruz, with boards shaped from local wood, on waves I bike by every week. Killer content.

The primary need, obviously, in our community, West Oakland, is a lack of access to healthy and affordable foods. If we can begin to build that at a local base, we can begin to create jobs that are associated with that new structure that we create. These are a lot more of the sort of peripheral aspects of this problem.

I think at the national level we're always going to have The New York Times , CNN, and The Washington Post to do national investigations, but what we really are threatened to lose in the next year to five years is local investigations and local reporting. If life is a chessboard, content is still king.

You can imagine how excited I was to find out about Fat Bottom Bakery , a vegan bakery in Oakland, CA (where I live) that makes all kind of desserts, including cupcakes! It had a great response, and ever since then we've been trying to find different local events, and branching out from there. Britt Bravo: Why a vegan bakery?

They wanted more training in-depth, and they wanted to really learn how to use all these different tools to get ahead in life and advance their dreams. The most powerful impact we found was actually in the women's leadership and influence locally. How can they do that?
