I'm covering Lessons in Equity from Culturally Specific Museums feat. @dbroxton of @MOAD_SF, @stephacunning of @museumhue, Nicole Lim of @CalIndianMuseum, and Lisa Sasaki of @SmithsonianAPA starting soon - 12:30pm CT. #AAMvirtual #AAMsmj
Noted the Native Land Acknowledgement in the session preview slide deck, so already off to a good start. Follow this thread for insights on #museums and #equity for #AAMvirtual.
. @stephacunning First words: #BlackLivesMatter 
, #MuseumsAreNotNeutral, #museums are a tool of white supremacy, we must stand against racial discrimination.
Y'all I think that's a wrap. We got it all covered in the first 60 seconds. #AAMvirtual

Wow. Nicole Lim of @calindianmuseum speaking truth to power. "In 2020 we (Indigenous) were not meant to be here." A chilling & horrifying & TRUE perspective of American genocide. #AAMvirtual #MuseumsAreNotNeutral
. @calindianmuseum's Covid-19 response includes cultural and traditional arts for communities for healing, noting that #equity has not been realized for Indigenous communities throughout this pandemic #AAMvirtual #MuseumsAreNotNeutral
"There's great interest in telling our (Indigenous) stories, but not for listening to us." - mic drop by Nicole Lim @CalIndianMuseum #AAMvirtual
Historical Trauma. Racism. Discrimination. Decolonization. Acknowledging Ancestral Territory. Resiliency. Civic Dialogue. Passing Down Cultural Knowledge. Youth Agents of Change. - just a few highlights of the important work @CalIndianMuseum is doing #AAMvirtual
. @dbroxton of @MoADsf up now. "San Francisco's population of African Americans is in decline. Now about 5%." #AAMvirtual
With a focus on contemporary art and now in Covid-19 response mode, @MoADsf is moving everything online. Virtual tours, artist studio visits, and education digital programs are some highlights. #AAMvirtual
Congrats, @MoADsf! With a goal of raising 250k with a digital auction in Covid, ended up raising over 400k. Love a #museum success story! #AAMvirtual
Now up: Lisa Sasaki of @SmithsonianAPA. "Over 30% of Americans have reported witnessing Anti-Asian harassment/violence in Covid-19 crisis." #AAMvirtual
Lisa urges us to *ask* our Asian American coworkers what they've experienced/witnessed in bias, discrimination, violence during Covid-19. Those responses should wake us up.
Amen. #AAMvirtual
Amen. #AAMvirtual

Up next: Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute @CCCADI shares their work and perspectives from New York City. #AAMvirtual
On launching a new brand right at the onset of Covid-19, a deep challenge for any #museum, but @CCCADI focuses on community at this time. #AAMvirtual
Curated content: cultural cooking, photography and visual arts, downloadable resources, family programs - some of the offerings @CCCADI is developing thru online platforms during Covid-19 #AAMvirtual
Culturally-specific vs Culturally-responsive: the latter supports the *agency* of cultural community in crisis - responsive to community needs. @CCCADI charges forward with this additional responsibility along with their specificity. #AAMvirtual #MuseumsAreNotNeutral
Gonna end this thread on pondering the importance of Culturally-Specific vs Culturally-Responsive. Thank you to all the panelists for these crucial insights!
Heading over to another session on Rapid Response Collecting now. #AAMvirtual #AAMsmj
