Panel Discussion
Remembering Black Imagination: Centering Learning in Museum Spaces
This conversation examines the barriers to entry within museums while reflecting on how we have seen and hope to further advance the Black imagination. We will invite attendees into reflection on how to center collective learning and community engagement as the priority within museum spaces. This panel explores how educators, curators and artists can co-create sustainable and dynamic museum spaces.
Panelists
Cheyenne Wyzzard-Jones, Devin Malone, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, and Jamal Batts in conversation.
As our guiding framework, interdependence emphasizes collective flourishing. Unlike codependency, interdependence does not negate individual security but rather acknowledges that we are living in an interconnected ecosystem. Our capacity for sustainable growth depends on nurturing the well-being of our communities. As arts and cultural workers, we inhabit a unique intersection. We simultaneously serve as staff, museum members, and active participants in our communities. Recognizing the profound interconnectedness among us empowers us to comprehensively and holistically address challenges within the museum ecosystem.
