Beck''s project is unusual because he deliberately resurrected a mostly-defunct participatory platform: sheet music for popular songs. In his thoughtful preface to this project, I reconnected with five lessons I''ve learned from participatory projects in museums and cultural sites. Constrain the input, free the output.

When I talk about designing participatory experiences, I often show the above graphic from Forrester Research.

This person is writing about a participatory element (the "pastport") that we included in the exhibition Crossing Cultures. The idea was that people would spin the wheel and start a conversation.

This question is a byproduct of the reality that most participatory projects have poorly articulated value. If you don't have a sense of an outcome--whether that be internal research, community conversation, or something else--you can't decide how or whether contributions should be documented or archived.

There have been innovations with respect to the grantmaking process and decision making, like participatory grantmaking and trust-based philanthropy. Yet, many funders are hesitant to fund endowments.

I’ve learned over the years to be very explicit about the room set, providing written descriptions, diagrams, and having a pre-workshop conversation about it. Despite this due diligence, sometimes you show up early to discover the room set up is not what you asked for. What to do? I also had them move them chairs back at the end.
