The Spring 2024 issue of Exhibition journal is now out. “Alternative Realities” surveys many ways exhibitions can question existing systems and open pathways to new and more equitable futures. At a time when what divides us can feel almost insurmountable, authors share how they are harnessing hope, challenging prevailing narratives, and upending established museum practices as they seek to reshape our vision of what is possible—within and beyond the museum. Exhibition is a journal of exhibition theory and practice for museum professionals published by the American Alliance of Museums.

Her reflections urge us to reconsider how we talk about trust in the museum sector—highlighting the delicate balance between influence and responsibility. Amanda's piece reminds us that trust isn't a label to be worn proudly, but a dynamic relationship to be continuously nurtured. https://lnkd.in/gGVgNbsY #LearningHub #insight #MuseumInsight
