Art galleries and museums are contested public spaces where social hierarchies are questioned and subverted. They can present a range of different perspectives and beliefs, in which the past and the present are represented at the same time. Art galleries and museums are sites where dominant discourses can be critiqued by presenting competing voices and exhibiting diverse points of view. The conflicting voices and assimilation of the “words of others,” and the idea of meaning-making found between the speaker’s and the listener’s voices, can situate art galleries and museums as public spaces for dialogue. As public spaces, art galleries and museums can help facilitate the sharing of individual memories and stories as multiple versions of history offered in the public sphere with the intent of building community. 

In today's inclusive society, it's imperative that our cultural institutions are accessible to everyone, regardless of their physical abilities or sensory needs. By prioritizing accessibility in museum exhibits, we ensure that all individuals, including those with disabilities, can fully participate in and enjoy historical interpretation and cultural exploration. From wheelchair ramps and tactile exhibits to audio descriptions and sign language interpreters, there are a myriad of resources available to enhance accessibility and create a welcoming environment for all. It's crucial to recognize that accessibility extends beyond physical accommodations and encompasses a wide range of needs, including physical disabilities, visual impairments, hearing impairments, cognitive disabilities, and more. By embracing a diverse and inclusive approach to accessibility, museums can better serve their communities and enrich the visitor experience for everyone. Check out the link below for the Smithsonian's resources for Accessibile Exhibition Design. This is a great place to start when thinking about incorporating accessibility solutions into your next exhibit! https://lnkd.in/gC_fQ69 #Accessibility #ExhibitDesign #ExhibitDesigners #ExhibitionDesigners #ExhibitDesigners #DesigningforAccessibility #AccessibleDesign

🎬 The Association of Independent Commercial Producers has outdone themselves with their latest film, portraying Vincent Van Gogh and Frida Kahlo navigating the complex dance of feedback and creative negotiation. The dialogue feels like a direct transcript of those endless email threads, with everyone offering their two cents. "We like it, but can we change everything?" From passive-aggressive diplomacy to focus group insights and influencer input, it's a hilarious glimpse into the world of client feedback. ✨ Aspiring creators, take note: "It's hard to make museum-worthy art. It's even harder to make museum-worthy ads." This video serves as a gentle reminder of the challenges in the creative process. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the film: https://lnkd.in/eCVuzjyq #TheGoodCompany #TGC #MarketingFunFact #VanGogh #FridaKahlo

💡Hello network - a question from someone in the museums sector: ‘I am writing a training plan for my team, many of which are visitor-facing gallery staff. I’m looking for a trainer who can provide inspiration for those whose role can be sometimes quite sedentary and repetitive. I want my team to engage more with visitors and provide more of a stimulating experience rather than the usual member-of-staff-stood-with-a-radio. Do you have any contacts or know someone who might?’ I know there are some brilliant museum professionals on here - can anyone help? #museums #frontofhouse #visitors #training
