Here's a review of sorts, from visiting Lidice Memorial. Thanks Miloslav Vorlíček for a thought provoking tour: https://lnkd.in/d-pi2WBU There are about ten strands I'd like to develop from this written creative response. For now, we have a blog post.

Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past. ATTN NASHVILLIANS WHO WANT TO ACTIVELY SHAPE OUR FUTURE… are you also controlling the past?? Are you controlling your present?? If you haven’t already signed up, this is an incredibly powerful way to take this moment in time to directly impact the way we move in the future… to combat the censorship and revisionist history some other (ahem) groups are pushing. Historians know that it’s not just about interrogating the voices we do hear, but also interrogating the cause of absent voices. And asking “If the voice were present, what would it say? How would it impact the story that’s being told?” Too much of history education is already reduced to excerpts and quotes taken out of context, and truly voices are at real risk of erasure. Come hear their stories before they’re lost to history so that we can impact a more thoughtful, inclusive future. Also Tamyra Gordon MSEd is just really fantastic and you should support her work. 💥

We have our first "mini exhibit" of 2024 up: "The Wonderful World of Fairings." Read about these humorous little figures in our latest blog post.

Governance is core to all co-operatives, relevant to all members, and applied in a diversity of ways based on the co-operative type, size, and stage in lifecycle. Whether you are new to co-operatives or an experienced professional, this session will stretch your thinking on governance as a system fit for values-based, member owned, and democratically controlled organizations. This session will leave directors with a renewed sense of the importance of governance structures and processes being consistent with the organization’s purpose while fulfilling goals, meeting objectives, and protecting member and community interests. This session will also highlight the critical importance of governance as a tool to set transformational purpose and visioning for co-operatives to meet complex social, economic, and environmental agendas.

When the sponsor is a company named Hyundai of vehicles at the peak of hybrid and zero carbon performance, all electric for 2045... art takes its expression here not romantic but rather of ecological expansion and environmental policy (even for sponsorship, the cost of a car like those manufactured is only reserved for the billionaires of this world !? In short, it is indeed this recycling idea of having collected these tons of waste (by deprived children..?? or ?? ) and of having been able to bring together these metal caps to contextualize them, manufacture and create impressive recycling panels selected under an artist's name. A method that has been used for more than a decade and which is gaining ground and making progress, as shown here! Enjoy your visit spectators and provided that the queue is not crowded or jammed like on a highway! &&&&&&&&&&&&& When♻️ #recycling becomes #Art ... ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘ https://lnkd.in/e9yDJ4QR ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘ #Artist " El Anatsui (b. 1944 Ghana; lives and works in Nigeria) transforms simple materials into complex assemblages that create a distinctive visual impact. His typical material palette includes discarded resources such as liquor bottle caps, printing plates and cassava graters to create sculptures that defy categorization. Anatsui’s choice of these materials reflects his interest in reuse, transformation and an intrinsic desire to connect to his native continent of Africa while transcending the limitations of place. His style combines the world history of abstract art with his local aesthetic traditions. Much of his work interrogates the legacy of colonialism, drawing connections between consumption, waste and the environment, but at the core is his unique formal language that distinguishes his practice. Anatsui is particularly well-known for his large-scale sculptures composed of thousands of folded and crumpled pieces of metal sourced from local recycling stations and bound together with copper wire. His intricate works are both luminous and weighty, meticulously fabricated yet malleable. One of the conceptual underpinnings of much of the work is that the sculptures takes different forms each time they are installed. In morphing to activate various spaces, they challenge long-held views of sculpture as something rigid and insistent, which opens up his work to exist on its own terms.

How to get high quality guides? Train them. Put some resources (be it time or money or both) into your guides and help them with continuing education. This can include taking them on other tours (including free tours), treating them to museum outings, bringing in guest speakers to share some stories or experience with them, etc... #tourguides #companyculture #toursandactivities https://buff.ly/3szAh8r
