In celebration of #America250, PBS Books in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services presents films and extended interviews exploring our nation's stories, people and places. Some of our nation’s most notable historians and authors share the tales and themes that reverberate inside the walls of institutions such as the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, American Jazz Museum, Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience, Heard Museum, National Museum of Women in the Arts, Miami Dade College's The Freedom Tower and the International African American Museum. Visit https://lnkd.in/gFyVWJR2 for additional resources and information on how libraries and museums can bring VISIONS OF AMERICA to their communities.

𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐃𝐎 𝐖𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐆 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐔𝐌𝐒? I visited two big exhibitions this summer, and I was surprised by what I found. The Taylor Swift Songbook Trail at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, was a masterclass in how to merge art, history, and contemporary culture to create something magical. I've written an article outlining my thoughts on why. Read it now - https://lnkd.in/eT3PFEz4

NYC World Trade Center Visit Depending on your age, you probably have memories of where you were and what you were doing on the morning of 9/11/2001. However, those memories, as is only natural, have probably faded, unless maybe you were actually there that day. I had an opportunity to visit the 9/11 museum last weekend in NYC. And my memoires had in fact faded. The museum resurrected those memories and all that that event entailed: how individuals responded – whether first responders, people in the buildings, the passengers and crew who made sure flight 93 did not reach its target – the physical destruction and deaths, and so much more. It was so powerful. It is a remarkable remembrance of a terrible time and loss, and a testament to what can be the best (and worst) aspects of humankind. And sadly, the world continues to suffer from some of the worst nature of humankind. However, I strongly encourage everyone who has the opportunity to visit the 9/11 museum, but have not yet done so, to make the visit. Whether you have memories of that day or not. It is well worth it. https://lnkd.in/ef6qWmGA https://lnkd.in/ehYQx_yr (Scroll down for video - a short video w images and voices of the day) https://lnkd.in/euw2fJzN (History Channel reviews the days chronology and events)

The Observer levels a provacative charge against American museums. American Museums Have New Missions. Have Their Operations Caught Up? They assert that while most museums center the public in their mission statements, many don't follow through in practice. That shift from object-focused to public-focused represents one of the most radical transformations of any group of public institutions in the last 50 years. Remuseum, an independent research project, has now started documenting these disparities, or “aspiration gaps,” between what museums say they want to offer and what they have been built to provide. https://lnkd.in/diYyBnxB

I’m thrilled to continue and deepen the conversation around #contemplation and #mindfulness in #museums in this co-edited guest issue! Just two years ago Viewfinder, the NAEA Museum Education Division’s online publication explored this topic in a special issue within the scope of art education and social justice (Murphy, 2022). This issue aims to explore novel avenues to better comprehend the potentials of a variety of critical, contemplative encounters within museums and galleries of various disciplines. We invite articles that include examples of theory, people, programs, and events that examine the questions below ~ ✨What practices have been left out of contemplative pedagogy and practice in museums? In addition to mindfulness, what other contemplative practices could inform the way we teach? ✨What innovative approaches characterize new forms of contemplative practices in museums? Particularly,what are approaches that center a critical and anti-oppressive lens. ✨How can we, as educators, consider contemplative practices that challenge appropriation within museums – for example, museums that offer yoga as a form of programming? ✨How does contemplative practice challenge educators to ask questions on how these programs affirm white supremacy in predominantly white public spaces? And if you’d like to chat or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or my amazing colleague Beatriz Asfora Galuban, Ph.D.! #contemplativepractice #mindfulnesspractice #mindfulmuseum #mindfuleducation #contemplativeeducation
The Journal of Museum Education is also seeking proposals for an upcoming issue on rethinking contemplative learning and experiences in museum education, led by guest editors Jenna S. Green and Beatriz Galuban. Practitioners and scholars thinking about contemplation and its potential relationships to anti-oppression, intersectionality, critical thinking, and appropriation in museum spaces are highly encouraged to submit! All submissions are due by November 8, 2024. To learn more, check out the full call for papers: https://lnkd.in/g2CdhV3y #museumeducation #museumlearning #contemplation #callforarticles

This from the Museum of Contempory Work. One of the questions we ponder and also one of the attractions of the Guild. Do you work for money? Do you work for passion? Perhaps we can turn our gaze to the Guild … Do you Guild to think or do you Guild to do? Do you Guild to go deep on the now or deep on the future? Do you Guild to learn or do do you Guild to connect? Should we judge the success of our Guild by the crowds we attract or the outputs we produce? Contemplate and let simmer. Grey Swan Guild
