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

We are looking for YOUR ideas about sessions for #NEMA2024! The theme of this year's conference, taking place November 6-8 in Newport, RI is "We the Museum: Toward a 'More Perfect' Vision for our Changing World." As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, now is a time to reflect on both the origin of America’s museums, and consider the field not only in its current state, but where it has grown from the past, and what it can be in the future. Just as America was by no means perfect at its inception, neither was the museum field. While the U.S. Constitution seeks a “more perfect union,” how can we work towards a “more perfect” museum world? How can we be better, if perfection is out of reach? Do you have a great idea for a session unrelated to the conference theme? We want to hear those too! Submit your session proposals by March 29, 2024.

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)

"How do you ensure equity in research participation?" This question came from an audience member after I delivered a keynote address to an auditorium filled with passionate museum and cultural professionals. A very important question, with a complex and layered answer. As museums, cultural institutions and organizations across many sectors continue to wrestle with inborn white-centricity, this question touches the multidimensional and deep-rooted problems existing from that legacy. Our current approach evolved from stories of our own learnings and mistakes, into discussion points and tactical How To’s we integrate into our research planning and processes.

Footnotes are not just the fine print at the bottom of your page – they're the unsung heroes of academic integrity. 📚 Like guides in a museum, they lead your readers through the maze of your research, pointing out where you've gathered your gems of information. #footnotes #originalityTips

Fantastic example of interdisciplinary experiential learning that promotes the value of thinking through making. Also good to note the importance of collaboration remembering our schools where built on the foundation of Arts & Science in the C19th. #experientiallearning #thinkingthroughpractice #holisticeducation #arts #science #creativity #Creativethinking #embodiedcognition
