Museum Ideas 2021: How Might We Transform Museums?

“What I’d like to share with you today is a call to action to claim agency in defining the present and future of museums, driving transformation towards greater relevance, equity, inclusion, and all around better design to serve our many audiences and communities – living up to the responsibility of being organizations that exist to serve the public trust.”

Museum Ideas 2020: The Future of Museums is Antiracist

“What does it mean to be a Museum in the 21st Century? We are witnessing our societies struggle to contend with social structures – power structures – that have determined our fate for centuries. Now we must consider the future of power in museums. At the heart of our current tension with our histories, our present, and our future, is our relationship with power. Who holds the power in museums today?”

Museum Ideas 2020: The Museum as a Contested Space

“Museums are built on a foundation of white supremacy. This has meant that racist behaviours and attitudes have been replicated in museums for decades virtually unchallenged while racial violence in society has been perpetuated over and over again. It is critical that we continually ask questions about power, representation, and the civic role of public museums, galleries, libraries and archives in the 21st Century and beyond”

Museum Ideas 2020: Museum Remedy – Pivot or Perish

“If you are in a system, an institution, a place that has a status quo and a way of doing things – you can – and should – examine, challenge, reimagine those cultural hierarchies. Things don’t have to go as they always have, things don’t have to stay messed up”
