Hear Care Act: Museum Futures & Movements of the People
Presenter: Monica O. Montgomery
The rise of modern activism permeates our society, being echoed by social movements which contextualize human rights issues and abuses. Audiences are congregating online, looking for solutions and spaces to grief, grow and express. Employing a responsive digital presence with a civic minded framework for participation and reflection, Museum of Impact fuels the urgency of the #BlackLivesMatter movement into engagement and empathy museum practice. In this session participants will be exposed to how Socially Responsive museums can meet the needs of communities grappling with grim realities and current events.
