I've now been the Director of The Museum of Art & History in Santa Cruz for two months. But the point is that the MAH, like just about every other museum in the known universe, was content to define the museum experience as something removed from the outside world, a rarefied church-like space of refined artistic reflection.

Assuming that staff can just wander on to general AI models and create content is like when nonprofits thought it was a good idea to give their social comms to interns a decade ago. These histories can be built on but there is a risk they begin to drift from the original prompt and even forget key elements.

We knew internally that we wanted our exhibitions to become more interdisciplinary, more participatory, and more responsive to audience needs.

We read articles mapping out the “perfect face” according to the Greek ratio of Phi but we never question why Greek history is the arbiter of truth in many cases when much of Greek philosophy was stolen from Egypt.

History Museums OPPORTUNITIES - History museums are in many ways the best-suited for visitor participation. As cultural anthropology has swung away from a vision of authoritative history and toward the embrace of multiple perspectives, there is potential for those stories to come from all over the place, including visitors themselves.

You’re creating opportunities for struggling artists to bring beauty to the world. Your history and awards are not about change. I’m not so sure that’s compelling to donors.

I think about how hesitant I was to become an artist, because I didn't see role models, and even to this day how hard it is for me sometimes to find peers who are women of color, because of how systematically they are pushed out. I'm an artist and an institution builder. Similarly, for International Women's Month.
