Immigration, Belonging and Museums - Navigating with Resilience
As rhetoric around immigrants and immigration heats up, join Rachel Perić, Executive Director of Welcoming America, for a conversation about how to navigate our country's changing demographics, the issue of migration, and community belonging in ways that foster engagement and leverage the strengths of museums. Learn about some of the ways that public and private institutions have been leading through an era of change - and discuss strategies for navigating complex but important conversations around belonging, civic engagement, and the role of museums and other community institutions.
Rachel Perić is Executive Director of Welcoming America, a nonprofit envisioning a world where we all thrive and belong in the place we call home, no matter where we come from. Inspired by her family's refugee story, she has worked for more than a decade to grow the worldwide movement of welcomers and advocate for the power of everyday people to build welcoming communities for all. Rachel has worked throughout her career with local leaders whose innovative solutions to community building in an era of migration are the inspiration for her work and advocacy, and the subject of her published writing in USA Today, CNN, and numerous media outlets across the country. She serves on the boards of the American Visionary Art Museum, Art and Remembrance, and RCUSA.
