And apropos, we're excited to be talking about conducting another #research study of the #socialimpacts of folk & traditional #arts in lives and communities. (Our first was with @CalTradArts a few years ago. Learned and unlearned a lot since then!) Stay tuned...
A "respite room" where viewers can process, mourn, repair.
This is why we love working with @deyoungmuseum & other cultural orgs that are rethinking, decolonizing, healing. Kudos to Abram Jackson & others @ FAMSF for getting that it's not just what goes on the walls...
#ICYMI here's @MellonFdn Pres. Elizabeth Alexander and @smithsonian Sec. Lonnie Bunch on the role of museums in telling the #AmericanStory. A fascinating and timely conversation:
We're so proud to work with amazing antiracist, justice-focused system-changers in #arts and #culture. Our sector has a unique role to play—and much more work to do. (Same goes for social #research and #evaluation.)
So let's take a breath together, remember Dr. King...and sing.
Well choreographed conversation, coming soon to your screen: @jenbenoitbryan & @melodybuyukozer taped last week with @DanceUSAorg about audiences' values, behaviors & hopes for the future.
