Consider whether you want a bonded group (people who are like each other) or a bridged group (people who are different from each other). Bonded groups are useful if you want to understand people's existing attitudes and impressions. If you are building something new and want people's ideas, go for bridging.

It can be incredibly difficult to design a participatory project that involves online and onsite visitor engagement. We then invited people to submit their own photographic responses (via the web) inspired by one of the 13 works from the project.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever had a bad experience working with a group of people to make a decision. And things go wrong: roles aren’t clear, timelines extend, or people disagree. Most groups of people do not self-manage well. It often takes clarity of roles and purview and even some structure to do that.
