The National Archives at Kansas City has reopened its permanent exhibit gallery, “We the People,” to the public. The exhibit, which primarily features records from the National Archives at Kansas City, focuses on how records impact the lives of every American. The exhibit is divided into five sections, each containing interactive displays. The first gallery, “We the People,” introduces visitors to the process of becoming an American and reveals details about immigrants seeking citizenship in the United States. The second gallery, “Form a More Perfect Union,” provides a glimpse into records that show the evolution of our democracy. The third gallery, “Provide for the Common Defense” showcases records of our nation’s activities during wartime, both on the home front and abroad. The final two galleries highlight the human spirit and ingenuity needed to realize America's promise, illustrated through records gleaned from the ever-growing collection of records held by the National Archives. Admission is free. The National Archives is tasked with storing records on behalf of the American people and making those records accessible to the public. https://lnkd.in/gPTQ__xv

I'm over the moon that the amazing Hettie Judah is visiting Bloomington this week! Her book "How Not to Exclude Artist Mothers (and Other Parents)" offers so much support and insight. Stars aligned and The Kinsey along with Arts and Humanities Council is hosting a conversation with Hettie this Friday May 10th 6pm at The Bishop- which is right across the street from my new collaborative exhibit exploring art and mothering with painter Gloria Manzanares. Come out for what is to be an amazing talk and stay after when we'll lead an informal gallery tour of the exhibit "Creative ReProduction" at the John Waldron Arts Center. Talk is 6-7:30pm and tour to follow. Spread the word and check out Hettie's amazing body of work including new book “Acts of Creation”

"Alter Echoes" out now! My latest project just released at Curated by Girls. “Alter Echoes,” a collaborative project by photographer Shari Annabell Marks and Movement Director Marie Zechiel, explores the dynamic nature of identity. Through four chapters, the work delves into diverse personalities, presenting them like museum statues. It challenges the idea of a fixed identity, instead celebrating the multiple versions of ourselves that emerge over time. Shari and Marie’s collabo-ration offers a thought-provoking perspective on the ongoing evolution of the self. https://lnkd.in/erK_rja5

How to solve a problem in 5 simple steps! Navigating spring break with young kids at the Children’s National Museum in Washington, D.C., I stumbled upon wisdom where I least expected it—displayed vibrantly on a museum sign. It read, “How to solve a problem in 5 simple steps!” Shaun the sheep giving Ray Dalio some competition 1. EXPLAIN the problem. 2. THINK of ideas to solve it. 3. CHOOSE the one you think is best. 4. TRY it out! 5. EVALUATE it (and retry?)

A little belatedly---c'mon, it's been the holidays, we're all a bit behind, right?---here's a link to a piece I was invited to write for the newsletter of The Integrated Assessment Society. Here's how it starts: "I am (among other things) a #sciencefiction writer. That means we have something in common: we are both in the business of #worldbuilding. I hope this comparison does not offend! I mean it as a compliment, and very sincerely so. But do I really dare to compare science fiction stories to the work of integrated assessment experts? I do indeed—but to be very clear, I am not claiming they are equivalent; nor am I claiming either to be superior to the other. We use very different tools, yes, and we use very different techniques. But at a very fundamental level, we do the same thing. We do that thing for very different audiences, too—but that’s why I think the comparison is not just valid, but timely and important. I think that science fiction writers—and many other sorts of artists and creators—can be useful companions, collaborators, even colleagues, to modellers and others who carry out integrated assessments." If you want more, I guess you'll have to click through, won't you? :) (( And if you'd like me to write---about creative approaches to #futuring, worldbuilding, or anything else---for your own organisational organ (oo-er missus, etc etc), drop me a line! I am consulting full-time as of the start of the year, and while I'm pretty well booked out to late April at this point, I can probably squeeze in some writing or a few days of consulting if you need it. ))

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)
