Hello all,
Apologies for cross-posts.
We invite all museum professionals to join us in imagining a radical future. Museums & Race has shifted our planned activities from our lounge at the AAM Expo Hall to a virtual setting, though we are keeping the same original dates.
Learn more at https://museumsandrace.org/2020/05/11/imagine-a-radical-future/
Registration is handled by Eventbrite at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/museums-race-imagine-a-radical-future-tickets-104654089198
Please join us for our virtual Museums & Race Transformation and Justice Lounge. We will be holding two cypher sessions a day at 12PM ET / 9AM PT and at 2PM ET / 11 AM PT on May 18, 19, and 20 led by a variety of people from across the field. Listen to some ideas and join a freestyle exchange of ideas. We will also hold a virtual happy hour and poster session at 5PM ET / 2PM PT on Tuesday, 5/19. Come lift a glass with us virtually and bring your wildest ideas for an hour of jamming and planning for a radical future.
This is a pay/donate-what-you-can conference. All donations will support future Museums & Race initiatives. All sessions are limited to 100 participants.
