Here's Fernanda from the War Childhood Museum introducing MEMENTOES, the 3 games we have in development, and our goals for today.

Founded over 30 years ago, Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) revolutionized art education by prioritizing viewers' observations and interpretations over contextual information about artworks. Yet, questions have arisen in recent years regarding its alignment with equity, diversity, and inclusion in art education, raising concerns about its compatibility with anti-racist teaching methods. In this article, three VTS coaches and seasoned museum educators examine the balance between healing and harm in museum education incorporating VTS. They start with a quick overview of VTS's history and principles, then delve into its role in the evolving museological landscape of late 20th century American museums. The article discusses both the constraints and possibilities of VTS within liberating pedagogies, offering insights into its complexities. This article appears on page 115 of Museological Review Issue 26. https://lnkd.in/ecnvFZ3 #AntiRacist #VisualThinking #VisualThinkingStrategies 

Can Digital Product Passports (DPPs) be used to collect and present artifact histories?  DPPs are digital documents or records that provide detailed information about products throughout their lifecycle. These passports are designed to store data such as the origin, materials, environmental impact, and recycling instructions of products. In the context of museums and historical artifacts, DPPs could be used to preserve and present detailed provenance information, ensuring artifacts are managed responsibly and their histories are accurately and accessibly shared with the public. These are the potential benefits of integrating DPPs:  1️⃣ Store comprehensive details about an artifact's origin, including its creator, date of creation, and the historical context. 2️⃣ Provide a clear and accessible history of each artifact to ensure that information is readily available to researchers, historians, and the public. 3️⃣ Open doors for new curatorial practices and acquisition strategies. DPPs could also be integrated with Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) to help shift towards a more democratic and inclusive approach in the arts and cultural sector.  What role will these institutions play in a world where the stewardship of cultural heritage is more collaborative and distributed? 🔗 Join the conversation on our next WAC Weekly session: https://lnkd.in/dpEN993f 📅 Save the date: May 8th, 6pm CET 💡 WAC Weekly is Hosted by Fanny Lakoubay  Moderated by Whitney Hart Powered by Tezos  #wearemuseums #digitalproductpassports #DPP #museumresources #DAO

Eye-tracking research helps Indianapolis museum steer guests in the right direction "Prominent signage is key when navigating a new space. This is especially true when the majority of a location’s visitors are parents or guardians who are attempting to guide themselves while caring for young children. In partnership with the University of Southern Indiana, the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis used eye-tracking to determine how effective their wayfinding signage truly was for first-time guests."

Moment of pause, gratitude and reflection: There are many layers to society that are "heard but not seen", "off the radar" and often times go unnoticed. This does not reflect the importance of the work being done or that the lack of gratitude shown is intentional. Some things just operates in the background and require little attention while causing waves of positive impact. Today I would like to shed some light to the waves caused by the AIM Program led by Angela Lombardi at North Carolina Museum of Art. This tidal wave of a program has been sweeping many rural parts of North Carolina, promoting art and critical thinking amongst young students. The program partners with emerging and seasoned artists from all over NC to partner with schools for 6 weeks to offer art education as an after school. The level of programming and the results of just 6 weeks has left many gobsmacked. Students shared how not only has art helped them find a space to belong, they have shared how it has improved their mental health and added tremendous joy in their daily lives. Seeing big institutions broaden their reach, share their resources, think outside their immediate demographics and focus on community building is remarkable. This allows smaller individuals and businesses like Two Dots Studio who share similar values to join forces and collectively make bigger waves. We hope that many other bigger agencies, businesses and government bodies take this approach and invite like-minded partners to help create meaningful programs like this. Here is a link to some of the recent tutorials we produced: https://lnkd.in/dZ2At2bB #createbiggerwavestogether #nceducation #art #criticalthinking #investinbuildingcommunities #socialimpact #communityimpact

This from the Museum of Contempory Work. One of the questions we ponder and also one of the attractions of the Guild. Do you work for money? Do you work for passion? Perhaps we can turn our gaze to the Guild … Do you Guild to think or do you Guild to do? Do you Guild to go deep on the now or deep on the future? Do you Guild to learn or do do you Guild to connect? Should we judge the success of our Guild by the crowds we attract or the outputs we produce? Contemplate and let simmer. Grey Swan Guild
