Do you love science, history, and the humanities? Are you passionate about technology and the future of museums, libraries, and archives?<br />
If so, join us at the Openlab Workshop Unconference and Ignite talks on the afternoon of December 1, 2015, in Crystal City, VA (just outside DC).<br />
<br />
Use the links above to register for the Unconference and propose an Ignite talk.<br />
<br />
The Ignite talks and unconference will kick off a formal invitation-only workshop being held the following day, and the idea is to use the unconference/Ignite sessions to get some strong opinions and insight from perspectives and voices that might not otherwise get heard at a formal planning workshop.<br />
<br />
As a starting point (and food for thought), here are some of the questions that we've been wrestling with (and need help with!),<br />
* What needs to change in galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAMs)? How can technology help (or hurt) GLAM missions?<br />
* How can Openlab help individual scholar/researchers and small and mid-sized organizations?<br />
* What is Openlab’s primary value proposition? Is the overarching vision compelling, accurate, and complete?<br />
* What is missing in the current funding and support landscape for GLAMs and the humanities? What can a project like Openlab add?<br />
* How can Openlab improve the lives of scholars and citizens? How can it benefit the common good?<br />
* What is a realistic 5-year program of activities for Openlab? In what sequence should these features and programs be unveiled and delivered? What levels of cost and effort will produce the best outcomes?<br />
* If Openlab moves forward, where should the project be based and how should it be run? Does Openlab need to have a physical space? How would a physical presence affect the project’s scope and capabilities?<br />
* What kind of staff does Openlab require, and with what skills?<br />
* What models of evaluation are appropriate for Openlab? How would different evaluation techniques affect the freedom to experiment and fail?<br />
* What are the benefits and risks of conducting Openlab as a global initiative? How might the project be “global by default”? <br />
* What are the risks of the Openlab project? How might they be mitigated?<br />
...Feel free to edit/expand this list and make suggestions.<br />
<br />
And let us know if there's something we're missing or anything else you'd like to know. Thanks! [[user:edsonm]]<br />

<div>[work in progress [[user:edsonm]]]<br />
This is a draft<br />
<br />
=Overview= <br />
The Openlab Workshop was held in December, 2016 and a summary report was developed to... This document establishes the rational and process for moving the concept forward from its early, exploratory phase into detailed planning and, ultimately, implementation.<br />
<br />
=The Backdrop= <br />
The goal of Openlab is to create a "solutions lab, convener, and consultancy designed to accelerate the speed and impact of transformational change in the GLAM (gallery, library, archive, and museum) sector." [[[Openlab Concept]]]<br />
<br />
The need for Openlab emerged from several years of work, collaboration, and discussion with people trying to bring the concepts and practices of ‘new technology’ into the work and thinking of GLAMs.<br />
<br />
There is broad consensus in the GLAM sector that GLAMs are struggling with technology and change. Many Openlab Workshop attendees and stakeholders feel that GLAMs are conservative, 1950s-style institutions that often wrap themselves in a veneer of 21st century technologies but don’t understand or utilize these technologies to their full extent. They acknowledge that GLAMs have created exciting and innovative projects, but these initiatives have had little lasting impact sector-wide. For many attendees and stakeholders, GLAMs are not leveraging their use of technology to address the grand challenges of our time, and thus are not on the forefront of work that affects the public good.<br />
<br />
Openlab Workshope attendees and stakeholders also assert that the GLAM community suffers from its own “digital divide” between institutions who have the capacity and expertise to explore technologies and those who do not. The latter have few opportunities to leverage the knowledge and work taking place elsewhere in the sector. Many GLAMs never even hear about these efforts.<br />
<br />
Crosscutting all these issues is the trajectory of change, which attendees assert is fast, continuous, and far-reaching in society but slow, sporadic, and isolated in the GLAM industry, with little scale or urgency across the sector. The rapid changes brought about by digital technologies in other sectors (such as medicine, publishing, or industry) will not occur in GLAMs without new efforts to jumpstart sector-wide change. <br />
<br />

<br />
The Openlab concept received formal support in July of 2015, when CLIR received funding through a cooperative agreement from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Office of Digital Humanities and Division of Public Programs to host a series of events where the Openlab concept could be explored further. A total of 16 institutions stepped forward as organizers, co-conveners, and funders.<br />
<br />
The goal of the Openlab workshop meeting was to clarify the scope and magnitude of what is needed to accelerate change in the GLAM community, and to outline a way forward in this process. Underlying this goal was the question of whether the [[Openlab concept]], as expressed in verbal and written form, identified a viable pathway for addressing the need, and if not, what alternative solutions might be developed.<br />
<br />
The Openlab events received sector-wide endorsement, with over a dozen cultural heritage organizations and associations providing financial, leadership, or in-kind support. (See [[Home|this wiki landing page]] for a full list of supporters and partners.) Over 100 professionals from 80 institutions attended the Unconference/Ignite talks, and 36 individuals participated in the Openlab workshop meeting.

==MUSEUMS, WE NEED TO TALK== <br />
===Chad Weinard, Burning Questions=== <br />
[http://twitter.com/caw_ @caw_]<br />
<br />
Thank you everybody my name is Chad Weinard, and this is an opinionated love letter to museums:<br />
<br />
Museums. Museums. I adore you. We need to talk about your assumptions. <br />
I walk your hallowed halls, enthralled.<br />
I’ve surfed your sites.<br />
Touched your screens.<br />
You stole my heart…but we need to talk…<br />
<br />
Gentle Muse — eum,<br />
Sometimes you assume nobody even cares about your collections.<br />
You dally with fleeting exhibitions.<br />
Your curators while their time with someone else’s Monet, or Tut.<br />
<br />
It’s your collection that sets you apart.<br />
You keep what we would run back to save, in the fire, or flood, or war.<br />
Tell the stories that help us make personal connections to the collection.<br />
<br />
Sweet museum, don’t assume this.<br />
You try so hard to please, films, dining, concerts,<br />
insisting everyone comes to you.<br />
Partner with your friends. Go to their place once in a while.<br />
What we need most from you… is a great museum.<br />
<br />
Museum mausoleum, it’s just morbid wordplay.<br />
(It’s true though: You do write tombstones for your collection,<br />
may they rest in storage.)<br />
You once kept every mention in curatorial files.<br />
Not so much now, what with Internet and emails.<br />
<br />
But what if your collections are alive like never before, in a digital space?<br />
Let’s follow the trails of museum objects,<br />
like fireflies dancing through a digital meadow,<br />
and let’s record their movement as part of their ongoing story.<br />
<br />
But you’re too busy for such flights of fancy.<br />
First the website, then the online collection, social media,<br />
all on top of a busy calendar.<br />
Of course you’re too busy.<br />
First, stop doing something old. Then try something new.<br />
<br />
Museums, You are terrified of copyright.<br />
He who shall not be named.<br />
Copyright (and I’m talking about Voldemort here), copyright,<br />
VAGA, ARS, fear, uncertainty, doubt.<br />
Museums don’t even talk about it amongst themselves:<br />
“How much did we pay to put the Picasso on the rack card?<br />
How much did you?”<br />
<br />
If copyright is Voldemort, then Fair Use is your Patronus, your shield. Summon it often.<br />
Wear your educational mission proudly.<br />
What if museums had a platform to share what they paid in rights fees, and when they invoked their Patronus, fair use?<br />
<br />
Museums, why oh why does collections management software cast such a spell?<br />
How long will we wrestle data out of closed, proprietary systems?<br />
It’s not black magic. It’s a relational database.<br />
But it may require an exorcism.<br />
<br />
Museum technologists are under the spell too.<br />
We assume registrars would never change.<br />
How about an open system of the web, on the web, made for sharing?<br />
And let’s add value to the collection data: Computer vision, color palette, face recognition, analytics…<br />
All in reach for the smallest institutions.<br />
<br />
Museums, you kill me.<br />
Collections software isn’t the only sacred cow.<br />
Every department has its own software system, and most of them don’t talk.<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law Conway’s Law] says that organizational silos get baked into software design.<br />
<br />
What if we pull a [http://intellyx.com/2015/06/22/devops-insights-into-conways-law/ reverse Conway],<br />
and affect organizational change through software?<br />
Use a generic mission as a guide: connect people to collections.<br />
On the left, people, on the right, collections, in the middle — that’s where we post and archive all the ways the museum makes connections.<br />
Software structured for museum missions.<br />
<br />
It makes sense. You need to sell tickets<br />
But you’re missing an opportunity.<br />
Social is immediate and ephemeral, but its real value is long-term relationship, connecting with the collection.<br />
<br />
For-profit marketers recognize that social’s no good at selling.<br />
To them it’s about “content marketing.”<br />
Businesses are hiring teams of writers, editors, and experts in order to create content that generates goodwill.<br />
Museums have those teams already.<br />
<br />
Museums, I still love you, but you are so sick of me by now.<br />
Go ahead, stick me in a separate digital department, in the basement.<br />
Soon, you’ll need digital throughout. Most staff already work with a computer, you know, doing computery things.<br />
They need better tools and processes.<br />
<br />
Yes! <br />
Digital isn’t a fad.<br />
You can’t wait it out, hoping things will go back to normal.<br />
I’d only quibble with the timing.<br />
Digital is the NOW.<br />
Even if there is no technology in your galleries, your audience has changed.<br />
They are digital.<br />
<br />
So What Can a Technologist Do About Museums?<br />
(I need to give a shout out to Brett Victor, [http://worrydream.com/ClimateChange/ who wrote an essay along these lines about global warming].)<br />
Technologists want to change the world for the better, and I think they can do that by helping museums.<br />
<br />
Together, we should provide a resource that answers these questions:<br />
What are open problems in the field? (Not just the solutions, problems.)<br />
Who’s working on which projects?<br />
What are the fringe ideas? (These, are the fringe ideas)<br />
Let’s share in-progress project information to jumpstart innovation and get more people involved.<br />
<br />
Let's get to work. <br />
<br />
Thank you.</div>Waynehttps://wiki.diglib.org/index.php?title=Ignite_talk_-_Chad_Wenard&diff=14135Ignite talk - Chad Wenard2018-08-09T14:47:12Z<p>Wayne: </p>

On the left, people, on the right, collections, in the middle — that’s where we post and archive all the ways the museum makes connections.<br />
Software structured for museum missions.<br />
<br />
It makes sense. You need to sell tickets<br />
But you’re missing an opportunity.<br />
Social is immediate and ephemeral, but its real value is long-term relationship, connecting with the collection.<br />
<br />
For-profit marketers recognize that social’s no good at selling.<br />
To them it’s about “content marketing.”<br />
Businesses are hiring teams of writers, editors, and experts in order to create content that generates goodwill.<br />
Museums have those teams already.<br />
<br />
Museums, I still love you, but you are so sick of me by now.<br />
Go ahead, stick me in a separate digital department, in the basement.<br />
Soon, you’ll need digital throughout. Most staff already work with a computer, you know, doing computery things.<br />
They need better tools and processes.<br />
<br />
Yes! <br />
Digital isn’t a fad.<br />
You can’t wait it out, hoping things will go back to normal.<br />
I’d only quibble with the timing.<br />
Digital is the NOW.<br />
Even if there is no technology in your galleries, your audience has changed.<br />
They are digital.<br />
<br />
So What Can a Technologist Do About Museums?<br />
(I need to give a shout out to Brett Victor, [[http://worrydream.com/ClimateChange/|who wrote an essay along these lines about global warming]].)<br />
Technologists want to change the world for the better, and I think they can do that by helping museums.<br />
<br />
Together, we should provide a resource that answers these questions:<br />
What are open problems in the field? (Not just the solutions, problems.)<br />
Who’s working on which projects?<br />
What are the fringe ideas? (These, are the fringe ideas)<br />
Let’s share in-progress project information to jumpstart innovation and get more people involved.<br />
<br />
Let's get to work. <br />
<br />

"The World is waiting. Students strive to learn and expand their horizons, educators seek to create and have impact and adults seek to accumulate new and impactful knowledge to improve their understanding of the World. We all have the opportunity to inspire, to have impact, promote knowledge and create the resources to educate and facilitate. We must all be digital curators and navigators and make available contextualized content in ways easily consumed by those seeking it. Lets remember it is about them not us."<br />

"In October of this year, I organized the very first Personal Archiving Day for the Madison, Wisconsin community. It was held at the Madison Public Library, and sixteen people came. That was not enough. As an archivist-in-training, I recognize that our profession no longer operates in silos: we are not solitary professionals, and our future depends on our ability to integrate our work into the community — and people — we serve. This quick talk will suggest improvements for next year's event: one which will reach further, and do more, for the Madison community."<br />

"The Local Preservation School is a new online school to share the skills and knowledge you need to get your neighbors excited about local history, protect threatened landmarks from demolition, or secure resources for reinvestment in your historic neighborhood. Taking inspiration from new approaches to online learning for data-wrangling, digital history, and computer programming, we wondered how can we use the web (and open-source tools) to make it easier for people across the country to learn about historic preservation? How can we do a better job sharing the skills and knowledge needed to save historic places? This talk is a quick introduction to the project, an invitation to potential contributors and a discussion of how open education can support the effort to integrate technology into small, volunteer-led history and preservation efforts."<br />

"Indigo Magic is a talk about my current thesis research and exhibition.The Indigo Magic exhibition uses indigo as a lens to focus on the connections between Africa and the Americas. And furthermore, the exhibit narrows its scope to magnify a nuanced understanding of the aesthetic within African American art forms that connects directly to the West African region of the world. The Indigo Magic exhibition presents works by African-American artists who utilize the hues, the pigment, and at some points the mere spirit of indigo. The art forms include painting, sculpture, photography, videography, fiber, and performance. The magic of indigo is evident in its impact, which is as broad and varied as its history."<br />

"Museums: bastions of culture, bastions of backward labor practices where most internships are only open to people who can afford to work without pay, staff members do not reflect the community in which they sit, and real employment is passed off as contract work so we can avoid giving benefits to people working full-time. This talk will look at some of the major labor issues found in DC-area museums based upon the work of the #museumworkersspeak movement. It will also propose a number of basic solutions that museums in DC can adopt to ensure their workers are treated fairly and open the possibility of museum work to all, including paying your f-ing interns. Imagine the possibilities if DC-area museums came together in support of fair labor practices and a commitment to diversity in our hiring practices.

"What if nearly all people understood the ways in which human beings in different places and times have used images to give expression to their most deeply held beliefs and most profound questions? What would it mean if nearly 100% of us understood the architectural vocabulary that shapes and gives meaning to our streets and public squares? What if people around the world better appreciated the meaning and beauty of each other’s visual heritage? What would it mean if nearly every museum visitor was visually and historically literate? How can museums, libraries, and others begin to look past their traditional communities and define how they can best unlock their expertise and collections to best serve a huge, global audience of learners?"<br />

"Museums won't change until they question assumptions. Museums will operate the way they always have, assuming the old way is best. Is that true? Museum technologists gamely build atop ancient infrastructure, assuming it's not negotiable. Really? Museum social media managers create a new content layer connecting collections to popular culture, assuming existing content strategies must be preserved, and that educators and curators can't be bothered. In 20 slides I'll question assumptions, sound the idols, poke the sleeping dragons, name the roadblocks and open new paths. I've found in my career--from academia to technology and marketing to museums--that naive questions from a different perspective are a spark for creativity. Damn the torpedoes (and silos, collections management systems, mission drift, copyright paranoia, archaic org structures...) full speed ahead."<br />

''Video: “‘Millions are waiting’: GLAM and the global community of learners” by Beth Harris and Steven Zucker (Smarthistory), an Ignite talk for the Openlab Workshop Unconference, December 1, 2015, in Crystal City, VA. Published on Jun 27, 2016''<br />
<br />
== Transcript == <br />
<br />
'''"MILLIONS ARE WAITING:" GLAM AND THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS'''<br />
Beth Harris and Stephen Zucker, Smarthistory<br />
<br />
[http://twitter.com/smarthistory @smarthistory]<br />
<br />
Beth Harris: So we’re Beth Harris and Stephen Zucker of Smarthistory, and so. <br />
<br />
Smarthistory has a utopian vision, one we believe everyone here shares. What if people around the world better appreciated the meaning and beauty of each other's visual heritage? What would it mean if every museum visitor was visually literate? <br />
<br />
Stephen Zucker: How can we use the web to leverage our collective knowledge and expertise to reach new enormous global audiences. Millions are waiting, and so what are the internal impediments that are in our way.<br />
<br />
BH: So if you Google the words “art history” and our work at Kahn Academy comes up first. Two art historians have more YouTube subscribers than every art museum in the United States. <br />
<br />
SZ: Except MoMA.<br />
<br />
BH: This shouldn't be. <br />
<br />
SZ: Here are some of our observations that we think limit museum’s reach in impact, libraries as well, the rest of GLAM, has come from our experience that are generalizable to other organizations that are trying to work with these institutions. <br />
<br />
BH: So the British Museum recognize that their content could reach a vast new global audience through smart history at Khan Academy, and the British Museum invited us to basically republish any content we wanted from their website, but this was very unusual.<br />
<br />
SZ: Nearly every page on Smarthistory links to the museum that the object is from, but those museums almost never link back to us. Linking helps learners—<br />
<br />
BH: I think maybe never.<br />
<br />
SZ: Never. It generates traffic to the museum's own website, and to enter each other’s, and yet this rarely happens. <br />
<br />
BH: A major museum we work with recently commissioned a white paper about our very successful partnership, yet the authors never reached out to us. Institutions fail when they think they have all the answers. <br />
<br />
SZ: Our style of conversational videos has had a significant impact on museum content, but museums have only been willing to tell us this off the record. There are lots of people doing exceptional work outside of your staffs. Are the museum's talking to them? Are you talking to them? <br />
<br />
BH: In several cases curators believing in our mission have volunteered to contribute but have been thwarted by the politics at their institutions. Curators and others who have a more generous vision need to be persistent in overcoming bureaucratic obstacles.<br />
<br />
SZ: Despite the fact that we describe our shoe string method of making videos, museums still often assume that they need a costly video crew. Silicon Valley understands that the web is iterative, and that and it never lets perfection get in the way of creation. <br />
<br />
BH: Recently we mentioned to a museum that they owned a significant number of works in the new AP art history curriculum—completely new information for them. Museums need to think about that how their collection relates the needs of learners beyond k-12.<br />
<br />
SZ: It took a year or more and many meetings for a museum of major museum recently signed a partnership agreement with us. Despite the fact that there was no money changing hands, and that there was a clear benefit for all parties. The world shouldn't have to wait. <br />
<br />
BH: We've noticed that museums have a wealth of already approved content that can easily be put online. When museums don't step up, search results list commercial sites with unreliable information. <br />
<br />
SZ: That so many institutions still seek to control high resolution images of public domain works of art is simply an abuse of their missions and the beneficial stacks that we the public grant them. <br />
<br />
BH: The Wright Museum recognized that withholding image of Vermeer's—milk, yellow milkmaid resulted actually—The Milkmaid resulted in the proliferation of poor reproductions and lower postcard sales. When museums don't step up others fill the vacuum.<br />
<br />
SZ: Can’t afford to put high-resolution images of your public domain and collections online, why not ask the public to do it for you? Smarthistory has 5,000 commonly taught images on Flickr. These images have been viewed more than five million times, these are just images we take in the galleries.<br />
<br />
BH: Visit any museum, YouTube channel, and you’ll find videos that have a—higher—high production values and were obviously costly, but have a very low view count. We wonder, is anyone keeping track of the return on investment? Were quantifiable goals ever set? <br />
<br />
SZ: There's some really there's some really great online content for teachers that, are that could be serving a much larger audience especially if certain words were taken out. Segmenting audiences online doesn't always make sense except when you're dealing with younger younger age groups.<br />
<br />
BH: So millions of people around the world are coming online in the next decade as we all know. Hungry for the expertise that resides in your institutions. Why don't we work together to set ambitious goals to meet their needs? <br />
<br />
SZ: Google the words art history, or nearly any commonly taught content and Smarthistory comes very high to the top, often above leading museums, libraries, universities. Again, were only two people this shouldn't be happening.</div>Waynehttps://wiki.diglib.org/index.php?title=Ignite_talks&diff=14132Ignite talks2018-08-09T14:43:39Z<p>Wayne: /* Beth Harris and Steven Zucker, Smarthistory: "Millions are waiting:" GLAM and the global community of learners */</p>

"I'd like to put 'museum time' in context by placing it in linear perspective against 'real world' time and 'technology time.' This Ignite talk will attempt to break down the correlation between our cultural missions rooted in long view historical perspective and the epidemic of institutional inertia that is paralyzing rapid response and innovation across the sector. I will also make the argument that these characteristics are not mutually exclusive."<br />

"What if nearly all people understood the ways in which human beings in different places and times have used images to give expression to their most deeply held beliefs and most profound questions?

What if people around the world better appreciated the meaning and beauty of each other’s visual heritage? What would it mean if nearly every museum visitor was visually and historically literate?

"The World is waiting. Students strive to learn and expand their horizons, educators seek to create and have impact and adults seek to accumulate new and impactful knowledge to improve their understanding of the World. We all have the opportunity to inspire, to have impact, promote knowledge and create the resources to educate and facilitate. We must all be digital curators and navigators and make available contextualized content in ways easily consumed by those seeking it. Lets remember it is about them not us."<br />

"In October of this year, I organized the very first Personal Archiving Day for the Madison, Wisconsin community. It was held at the Madison Public Library, and sixteen people came. That was not enough. As an archivist-in-training, I recognize that our profession no longer operates in silos: we are not solitary professionals, and our future depends on our ability to integrate our work into the community — and people — we serve. This quick talk will suggest improvements for next year's event: one which will reach further, and do more, for the Madison community."<br />

But the creative method for tackling this disproportion is not just to ‘rebalance’ the senses, it is to remix the whole approach to senses. Based on my last year of research, this talk lays down a method for reconsidering the senses, starting with your own body."<br />

[[File:New.png|69x33px]] [[Ignite talk - Eli Pousson|Video and transcript]]<br />
"The Local Preservation School is a new online school to share the skills and knowledge you need to get your neighbors excited about local history, protect threatened landmarks from demolition, or secure resources for reinvestment in your historic neighborhood. Taking inspiration from new approaches to online learning for data-wrangling, digital history, and computer programming, we wondered how can we use the web (and open-source tools) to make it easier for people across the country to learn about historic preservation? How can we do a better job sharing the skills and knowledge needed to save historic places? This talk is a quick introduction to the project, an invitation to potential contributors and a discussion of how open education can support the effort to integrate technology into small, volunteer-led history and preservation efforts."<br />

"A unique new public high school concept to teach students using a curriculum built around the content, collections, experiences, and expertise of public institutions in and around Washington, D.C. Billions of dollars have been invested in public institutions in DC, such as the Smithsonian, Library of Congress, U.S. Capitol, White House, Kennedy Center, National Archives, National Gallery of Art, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, NIH, U.S. Geological Survey, National Park Service, etc. Smithsonian High (or whatever name the school adopts) would leverage this public investment by utilizing these and other institutions to create the heart of the curriculum for students, rather than simply as places to take field trips once or twice a school year."<br />

<br />
[[File:New.png|69x33px]] [[Ignite talk - Kibibi Ajanku|Video and transcript]]<br />
<br />
"Indigo Magic is a talk about my current thesis research and exhibition.The Indigo Magic exhibition uses indigo as a lens to focus on the connections between Africa and the Americas. And furthermore, the exhibit narrows its scope to magnify a nuanced understanding of the aesthetic within African American art forms that connects directly to the West African region of the world. The Indigo Magic exhibition presents works by African-American artists who utilize the hues, the pigment, and at some points the mere spirit of indigo. The art forms include painting, sculpture, photography, videography, fiber, and performance. The magic of indigo is evident in its impact, which is as broad and varied as its history."<br />

<br />
[[File:New.png|69x33px]] [[Ignite talk - Elissa Frankle|Video and transcript]]<br />
"Museums: bastions of culture, bastions of backward labor practices where most internships are only open to people who can afford to work without pay, staff members do not reflect the community in which they sit, and real employment is passed off as contract work so we can avoid giving benefits to people working full-time. This talk will look at some of the major labor issues found in DC-area museums based upon the work of the #museumworkersspeak movement. It will also propose a number of basic solutions that museums in DC can adopt to ensure their workers are treated fairly and open the possibility of museum work to all, including paying your f-ing interns. Imagine the possibilities if DC-area museums came together in support of fair labor practices and a commitment to diversity in our hiring practices. How much could we change the culture of museums nationwide?"<br />

==BREAKING BOUNDARIES: PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL AND POLITICAL POWER IN MUSEUM PRACTICE== <br />

<br />
Hi friends, how’s everybody feeling? Let’s get the energy going. <br />
<br />
So I’m Monica Montgomery, and I am a rule breaker. Thank you. Always, good to be seen. <br />
<br />
So I'm breaking boundaries in museum practice. I have a number of social media accounts please follow them all you won't be disappointed. <br />
<br />
So I'm an ENFP for Myers Briggs fans. Champion idealist, high-energy. I'm breaking<br />
boundaries and doing things differently all the time in exhibits, in events, in education, experiences. I've done a lot, and I started a lot, because I’ve seen a lot of voids in the world. <br />
<br />
This is some of my rule breaker crew. I organized with Museum Workers Speak--much love to them examining labor equity parity.<br />
<br />
Museum Hue is the collective I founded, advancing people of color in arts, culture, and museums, and I usually try to find community in my rule-breaking. I've been rule breaking since 1981. In college I didn't declare a major till the last possible day. High School I was kicked out for challenging the nuns on the religious canon. <br />
<br />
It's always something with me, but breaking rules it gets my creativity flowing. I currently run a historic house, the Lewis Latimer house. I am a museum anarchist, and that means that we're doing things differently. <br />
<br />
I let people touch stuff. I gave the keys to a band of artists to create a site-specific installation. We're doing all kinds of things differently, and breaking rules, but my story really starts back when I was a pre-k teacher here in D.C., and I was teaching a group of students, and we were having a good old time. <br />
<br />
And teaching kids that age it will definitely test your patience, but it taught me how to connect with people on an emotional level, and how to make subjects engaging and fun to capture. Long story short, working with these kids is when the whole Trayvon Martin situation exploded, and I had to be able to help them process what was happening. Kids have short attention spans as you can see here. You’ve got about 10 good seconds, and after that it's a wrap, they're not listening. <br />
<br />
But I really wanted to work with them to talk about why black lives mattered and what they can do in their own way. So we made Mother’s Day cards for Trayvon Martin's mom, and we talked about the issues. This was something that I felt it was calling. It was really important for me to work with these kids, cause they were questioning and nobody wanted to tackle it, but I couldn't look away. And I wanted to walk in the truth and the power of that. <br />
<br />
Long story short I believe that your silence makes you complicit, and that the world is watching, and so we have to take a stand on these social issues especially issues like Black Lives Matter. <br />
<br />
I was featured on Humans of New York. I got fired from the preschool. They didn't like what I was doing. They didn’t like what I was teaching the kids, so I ran into Brandon Stanton one day, and I told him my story, got 650 comments. <br />
<br />
This was a few years ago, and it really catalyzed this conversation. I decided after teaching that I wanted to get into museums. And I really just started by learning, going to conferences, volunteering, talking with all sorts of leaders and just grounding myself in the world, cause I wanted to start my own mobile social justice museum to tackle these issues, these Black Lives Matter issues. <br />
<br />
So my vision for the Museum of Impact, which is what I started: Not to wait for permission. To be the change. To fuel the future with arts and culture. <br />
<br />
My vision for the Museum of Impact is all about hearing, and caring, and acting, and inspiring people to envision their role in championing change, and we did a good deal of that. We launched back in September in Harlem, and we also were just really interested in who represents whom and how to hold space for audiences that wanted to express, to grieve, to grow, to cry, and that was important for me, to hold that space for folks, because again I couldn't wait for institutions to tackle this topic. <br />
<br />
Also with the Museum of Impact, we wanted to partner with local groups and find these lines of specificity around the issue, so we partnered with storytelling groups, other organizers, charitable organizations, as we pursued these topics. <br />
<br />
Well my vision was realized, and the exhibit, the movement is rising. The journey of Black Lives Matter brought out four hundred community members over the span of five days, and I'm really proud of that.<br />
<br />
We held space for children to play, and we were shining a light on these tragedies with an eye toward change, transforming the nation to celebrate Black Lives Matter, and the wellspring of artivism that arose out of these tragic incidents. <br />
<br />
I also was really passionate about breaking these boundaries of access. Who can access a museum. Who should come. How people should act. We welcomed everyone. We wanted anyone who wanted to be there, to be there, and get that experience, and we're still doing that work today, popping up in community centers and schools and beyond. <br />
<br />
So breaking boundaries has helped deepen my museum practice, and you can too. I'm happy to report that we will be popping up in the Brooklyn Museum, and we have some other museums lined up for 2016. <br />
<br />
So I would encourage everyone to break a few rules now and then. It’s not gonna hurt you. <br />
<br />
Thank you.</div>Waynehttps://wiki.diglib.org/index.php?title=Ignite_talk_-_Monica_Montgomery&diff=14129Ignite talk - Monica Montgomery2018-08-09T14:42:35Z<p>Wayne: </p>

"The World is waiting. Students strive to learn and expand their horizons, educators seek to create and have impact and adults seek to accumulate new and impactful knowledge to improve their understanding of the World. We all have the opportunity to inspire, to have impact, promote knowledge and create the resources to educate and facilitate. We must all be digital curators and navigators and make available contextualized content in ways easily consumed by those seeking it. Lets remember it is about them not us."<br />

"In October of this year, I organized the very first Personal Archiving Day for the Madison, Wisconsin community. It was held at the Madison Public Library, and sixteen people came. That was not enough. As an archivist-in-training, I recognize that our profession no longer operates in silos: we are not solitary professionals, and our future depends on our ability to integrate our work into the community — and people — we serve. This quick talk will suggest improvements for next year's event: one which will reach further, and do more, for the Madison community."<br />

"The Local Preservation School is a new online school to share the skills and knowledge you need to get your neighbors excited about local history, protect threatened landmarks from demolition, or secure resources for reinvestment in your historic neighborhood. Taking inspiration from new approaches to online learning for data-wrangling, digital history, and computer programming, we wondered how can we use the web (and open-source tools) to make it easier for people across the country to learn about historic preservation? How can we do a better job sharing the skills and knowledge needed to save historic places? This talk is a quick introduction to the project, an invitation to potential contributors and a discussion of how open education can support the effort to integrate technology into small, volunteer-led history and preservation efforts."<br />

"A unique new public high school concept to teach students using a curriculum built around the content, collections, experiences, and expertise of public institutions in and around Washington, D.C. Billions of dollars have been invested in public institutions in DC, such as the Smithsonian, Library of Congress, U.S. Capitol, White House, Kennedy Center, National Archives, National Gallery of Art, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, NIH, U.S. Geological Survey, National Park Service, etc. Smithsonian High (or whatever name the school adopts) would leverage this public investment by utilizing these and other institutions to create the heart of the curriculum for students, rather than simply as places to take field trips once or twice a school year."<br />

<br />
"Indigo Magic is a talk about my current thesis research and exhibition.The Indigo Magic exhibition uses indigo as a lens to focus on the connections between Africa and the Americas. And furthermore, the exhibit narrows its scope to magnify a nuanced understanding of the aesthetic within African American art forms that connects directly to the West African region of the world. The Indigo Magic exhibition presents works by African-American artists who utilize the hues, the pigment, and at some points the mere spirit of indigo. The art forms include painting, sculpture, photography, videography, fiber, and performance. The magic of indigo is evident in its impact, which is as broad and varied as its history."<br />

<br />
[[File:New.png|69x33px]] [[Ignite talk - Elissa Frankle|Video and transcript]]<br />
"Museums: bastions of culture, bastions of backward labor practices where most internships are only open to people who can afford to work without pay, staff members do not reflect the community in which they sit, and real employment is passed off as contract work so we can avoid giving benefits to people working full-time. This talk will look at some of the major labor issues found in DC-area museums based upon the work of the #museumworkersspeak movement. It will also propose a number of basic solutions that museums in DC can adopt to ensure their workers are treated fairly and open the possibility of museum work to all, including paying your f-ing interns. Imagine the possibilities if DC-area museums came together in support of fair labor practices and a commitment to diversity in our hiring practices. How much could we change the culture of museums nationwide?"<br />

"I'd like to put 'museum time' in context by placing it in linear perspective against 'real world' time and 'technology time.' This Ignite talk will attempt to break down the correlation between our cultural missions rooted in long view historical perspective and the epidemic of institutional inertia that is paralyzing rapid response and innovation across the sector. I will also make the argument that these characteristics are not mutually exclusive."<br />

What if people around the world better appreciated the meaning and beauty of each other’s visual heritage? What would it mean if nearly every museum visitor was visually and historically literate?

"Museums won't change until they question assumptions. Museums will operate the way they always have, assuming the old way is best. Is that true? Museum technologists gamely build atop ancient infrastructure, assuming it's not negotiable. Really? Museum social media managers create a new content layer connecting collections to popular culture, assuming existing content strategies must be preserved, and that educators and curators can't be bothered. In 20 slides I'll question assumptions, sound the idols, poke the sleeping dragons, name the roadblocks and open new paths. I've found in my career--from academia to technology and marketing to museums--that naive questions from a different perspective are a spark for creativity. Damn the torpedoes (and silos, collections management systems, mission drift, copyright paranoia, archaic org structures...) full speed ahead."<br />

==VISUALIZATION OF HERITAGE SCIENCE AND HUMANITIES DATA== <br />
===Fenella France, Library of Congress=== <br />
<br />
Hi. I'm Fenella, and if you don't already know where I work, that's great, because I want this presentation to be about what I'm talking about not where I currently work.<br />
<br />
Visualization of data. How can we bring our collections alive for any audience and make it engaging? We really need to make it more interactive and effective in the way we interact with the data that we have. We need to make that accessible and standardized.<br />
<br />
So imagine you have a global map of your data. How does that look? How do we make it effective and link it back to the actual object or collection that we working with? <br />
<br />
So imagine we're looking at the Gettysburg Address, and as you look at that, we can start to pull up all the different types of scientific data that tell us about the content: the handwriting, the particles, the processing. What does the ink look like, and the thumbprint, which might be Lincoln’s.<br />
<br />
How do we connect the scientific and the digital humanities together? The hyperlinks between that, that help the curators think about the collections, but no it’s not connecting, it’s integrating. We’re integrating that data together. We’re making that social media component to bring the data alive.<br />
<br />
What are some of the challenges? It’s transdisciplinary, not just multi. We are going across, we are not segregating our disciplines, we’re integrating them. We are linking the content back to the original object, and we’re trying to get away from the proprietary data components. <br />
<br />
Just an example of large data when we talk about spectral imaging. We can get one to two gig just from one capture of an image. What does it mean? What does it look like, and how do we actually access those components together? <br />
<br />
So what we actually see with that is what I affectionately call shooting in the dark. There’s different information in every one of these wavebands that we capture from the original object, and then we can take that further and take it a little bit to what do we see within each of those bands. You'll see things start to appear and disappear as we go through all the different bands here, and the way we process that date brings different parts of it alive.<br />
<br />
Also we can take that a little bit further, and say how much data do we get from one single document? We can get upwards of 24 to 32 gigabytes. <br />
<br />
There's a lot of data, but with public domain we want to make that accessible. We also want to show the different components of the hidden text that’s within our collections that we didn't know was there.<br />
<br />
So taking it back to the challenges that we have. Well manufacturers don't really like making metadata available. We’ve got to push through and make them want to share it. We can do that. We're doing it, and researchers are restricted in how they access that if they don't have the same software. We have to push through that.<br />
<br />
The one token slide. Don't be afraid. Underlying this visualization we had to have a robust database to support that and make it available, and easy to integrate data into it. So an example of bringing that alive. <br />
<br />
The Waldseemüller 1507 World Map. The first map to refer to America. When we look at this with different types of imaging, we can look at the first reference to America there, and we can look at central sheets that originally had cartographic lines that had faded over history. <br />
<br />
Well those don't exist anymore, but with this special imaging we can bring those back. We can show where they were, we can do a little bit more processing, even so and show where they start and finish. For a curator that's really important back in 1507. As a scientist I need the curator to tell me that it's important. We have to integrate.<br />
<br />
We can then look at how do we process that differently to see what the original woodblock might have looked like. What tools did they have in 1507? We're pulling the curatorial and the scientific together, and making it come alive. <br />
<br />
But wait a minute. 1507. That’s a long time ago. What did the world look like in 1507 compared to now? When we spin on what they had in 1507, they knew a lot about the bottom of South America there. What journeys were people sharing? How do we link that together? So let's bring that together again. When we’re layering this data in terms of all the different types of scientific information, and we are linking it back to what the curators know and understand about these collections. Making it alive, linking it, layering it. <br />
<br />
Taking it one step further. What’s the geospatial component? What parts of our collections aren’t linked yet that we know about?<br />
<br />
So here’s a 1513 Ptolemy Geografia. When we looked at this, and we went through some of the different papers that we used in it, we found a crown watermark. You know that might be kind of interesting, but what's even more interesting about that is that we could actually link the Ptolemy with the watermark from the Waldseemüller.<br />
<br />
Well cutting a really long story short we have now put those two documents together and everyone who worked on them. They start in 1506 in St. Dié. A funder comes alive to print the Waldseemüller map. He dies. They regroup. They go to Strasbourg. They finally get better printing the Ptolemy Geografia. You didn't know that they could link those documents together.<br />
<br />
So what do we have? We need to integrate the visualization through the object. We need to create a shared language, and we need to have a transdisciplinary linking breaking down the silos. <br />
<br />

''Video: “Podcasts for Cultural Institutions” by Elizabeth Barton (Longwood Gardens / University of Delaware), an Ignite talk for the Openlab Workshop Unconference, December 1, 2015, in Crystal City, VA. Published on Jun 30, 2016''<br />

==PODCASTS FOR CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS== <br />
===Elizabeth Barton, Longwood Gardens/University of Delaware=== <br />
[[http://twitter.com/ElizabethTau|@ElizabethTau]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Hi everyone my name is Elizabeth Barton, and I'm a graduate student working with Longwood Gardens and the University of Delaware. <br />
<br />
GLAM Institutions are often searching for ways to engage wider audiences, and podcasts fit that bill. Their dynamic lend themselves to promotion through social media and provide a way to engage a digitally native audience. <br />
<br />
So let's start by defining podcasts. A podcast is an audio program made available in digital format for download over the Internet. Generally podcasts are thematic and serialized with installments released regularly over time. <br />
<br />
There are tons of podcasts available through iTunes and other podcasting apps covering a huge range of topics from arts and entertainment to sports to gardening tips. Some museums are beginning to create podcasts, but we can do more. <br />
<br />
The success of this form tells us that the audience is out there and receptive, we just need to speak up. Over the last 10 years the percent of Americans who have listened to a podcast has more than doubled, an incredibly encouraging growth rate, but 70% of people have still never listened to a podcast. <br />
<br />
I hear that number and imagine the future popularity if the growth trend continues. Podcasts are consumed by a wide range of ages with 50% of the audience falling into the notoriously hard to reach Millennial Generation. Some of that is due to fabulous content, but it can also be attributed to the comfort with technology forms.<br />
<br />
The majority of people listen to podcasts using a smartphone or other mobile device, so that they can listen to podcasts while commuting, caring for children, doing chores, or exercising. They can find out about what's happening at museums without disrupting their daily routine. <br />
<br />
Podcasts are suited to GLAM organizations of all sizes, because they are very low production costs when compared to other education and entertainment forms. They are so low cost and low tech to produce that they are often literally created in people's basements.<br />
<br />
Ease of listening and low production costs make podcasts an accessible option for museums to address the basic marketing concepts of engaging more people and reaching new audiences, which I hear repeated by many different types of cultural institutions.<br />
<br />
My research uses public gardens and public horticulture as a case study to quantify the effectiveness of podcasts for reaching and engaging a millennial audience. Horticulture is defined as both the art and science of cultivating ornamental plants, fruits, vegetables, and creating gardens. The variety of offerings that fall under this umbrella is extensive, and includes everything from green roof research, to patio garden designs, community gardens, and orchid display. Public horticulture takes these many disparate elements and brings them together, giving them a human face.<br />
<br />
Horticulture provides this garden, but public horticulture provides the space for these kids to play. Podcasts offer an opportunity to tell these stories, allow the public to feel connected.<br />
<br />
When creating an effective podcast, craveability is a key element for success. Episode quality in the serialized delayed-release model work together to create a loyal audience and repeat listeners. There are tons of factors that go into determining the quality including production value, sound effects, focused themes, music, and host narration, but quality content is the most important element. So please tell your story.<br />
<br />
Every cultural institution has amazing stories as part of their existing intellectual capital. Who and what drives your organization? Who exactly is that guy on the ladder, and what exactly is he doing? As we develop the episode ideas for a public horticulture podcast, we learned that people are fascinated by the interworkings, and want to know what is going on behind the scenes. Where do all the plants go when you dig them up from the conservatory? What is it like to be a part of that experience? And often can I have the plants you’re no longer using? <br />
<br />
People also want to be kept aware of what's going on. Podcasts, episodes on special events like this nighttime art installation provide an opportunity to boost event attendance and include new audiences. <br />
<br />
There’s a special and hard to define element of podcasts that contributes to that craveability factor, because you're hearing the stories in your head, you feel especially connected to what you're learning about. This really helps develop the strong relationships that create long-term loyal supporters. <br />
<br />
My podcast is going to tell the story of people like Megan who manages a college community garden, sells her produce to students, and then uses the profits to help her campus botanical garden. <br />
<br />
I hope you will take advantage of podcasting to tell the stories about your organization. The most important thing to take away from my presentation is that podcasts are accessible. You have great stories to tell, and there's an audience waiting to listen, and I know that I for one am absolutely ready to subscribe. Thank you.</div>Waynehttps://wiki.diglib.org/index.php?title=Ignite_talks&diff=14125Ignite talks2018-08-09T14:39:27Z<p>Wayne: /* Elizabeth Barton, Longwood Gardens/University of Delaware: Podcasts for Cultural Institutions */</p>

"A unique new public high school concept to teach students using a curriculum built around the content, collections, experiences, and expertise of public institutions in and around Washington, D.C. Billions of dollars have been invested in public institutions in DC, such as the Smithsonian, Library of Congress, U.S. Capitol, White House, Kennedy Center, National Archives, National Gallery of Art, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, NIH, U.S. Geological Survey, National Park Service, etc. Smithsonian High (or whatever name the school adopts) would leverage this public investment by utilizing these and other institutions to create the heart of the curriculum for students, rather than simply as places to take field trips once or twice a school year."<br />

"Indigo Magic is a talk about my current thesis research and exhibition.The Indigo Magic exhibition uses indigo as a lens to focus on the connections between Africa and the Americas. And furthermore, the exhibit narrows its scope to magnify a nuanced understanding of the aesthetic within African American art forms that connects directly to the West African region of the world. The Indigo Magic exhibition presents works by African-American artists who utilize the hues, the pigment, and at some points the mere spirit of indigo. The art forms include painting, sculpture, photography, videography, fiber, and performance. The magic of indigo is evident in its impact, which is as broad and varied as its history."<br />

"Museums: bastions of culture, bastions of backward labor practices where most internships are only open to people who can afford to work without pay, staff members do not reflect the community in which they sit, and real employment is passed off as contract work so we can avoid giving benefits to people working full-time. This talk will look at some of the major labor issues found in DC-area museums based upon the work of the #museumworkersspeak movement. It will also propose a number of basic solutions that museums in DC can adopt to ensure their workers are treated fairly and open the possibility of museum work to all, including paying your f-ing interns. Imagine the possibilities if DC-area museums came together in support of fair labor practices and a commitment to diversity in our hiring practices. How much could we change the culture of museums nationwide?"<br />

==#MUSEUMTIME== <br />
===Jeffrey Inscho, Innovation Studio at Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh=== <br />

<br />
Hey, what’s up everybody? I’m Jeff. Before we get going on this, 2 prerequisites. You have to know what a GLAM is. Everybody cool with that? Everybody familiar with MC Hammer’s fabulous 90s masterpiece of pop perfection “You Can’t Touch this?” Yes? Okay. Let’s go. <br />
<br />
The average human lifespan is roughly 80 years. And during our time here on Earth, some of us will be lucky enough to grow old, fall in love, and leave a better world than when we arrived.<br />
<br />
This is what time means for most humans. For GLAMs, our missions often stand independent of human time, rooted in cultural preservation, community, and scholarship; designed to transcend lifespans. This is what time means to most GLAMs.<br />
<br />
Technology marches at a different pace than humans and GLAMs. And at a different scale. During the 15 seconds that this slide is shown, about 12,000 images will be uploaded to the web. This is what time means to the Internet.<br />
<br />
And during this 15 seconds, 160 new Internet users will log on for their first joyride across the world wide web. By the end of this talk, the Internet will have grown by almost 2,500 users. This is also what time means to the Internet.<br />
<br />
So the questions I pose today are honest ones. How can we transform our GLAMs to do more than just deal with digital shifts? Can we remake ourselves to exploit the speed and thrive in today’s world? Or tomorrow’s not-so-distant future world.<br />
<br />
We’re back at this, I don’t know where this slide came from, so I’m just gonna advance and go, “Hell no.” The swiftness with which GLAMs can operate is not mutually exclusive to the longevity of our missions. If longevity is the most important, we need to confront the things that threaten said longevity head on. So here are 8 ways we can begin to attack #GLAMerTime.<br />
<br />
We must examine all facets of our internal operations and explore new perspectives. Digital technologies offer new tools, new approaches and heightened levels of speed. Let’s audit our operations and work toward responsive operational efficiencies.<br />
<br />
Number 2, we must embrace the notion of iteration. Nothing is ever “finished” in the digital sphere. It either gets better, or it gets deprecated. I assert that our organizations should be versioned in the same way source code is.<br />
Github…but for GLAMs. Always getting better.<br />
<br />
Number 3, we must make our GLAMs safe-spaces for failure. I’m not talking about epic fails with huge financial costs and detrimental hits to brand or reputation. There’s never room for that. Let’s learn to fail fast, fail cheaply, and fail forward. <br />
Number 4, we should implement policy that fosters radical collaboration. Internally, let’s bring down departmental silos with efficient communication, and design thinking. Externally, let’s make it easier for GLAMs to work together on future-friendly, sector-transforming projects.<br />
<br />
Number 5, radical transparency. Let’s build windows into our organizations, instead of walls. GLAMs need to be sharing and learning from each other, and let’s not be afraid to share our struggles and failures so our collective knowledge base can grow.<br />
<br />
Number 6, we need to rethink conventional business models. The Internet affords so much promise in the financial realm, let’s put it to work for us. Let’s explore new revenue streams and be swiftly opportunistic with tactics.<br />
<br />
At the same time, number 7, we need to forge new funding models. Let’s get real: grant cycles and technology cycles are often out of alignment. And sometimes this can send an org off the rails. Let’s work together with our grant-based funders to develop new tech-friendly paths forward.<br />
<br />
And finally, #8, we should invest in the workforce & workflows of tomorrow. Let’s make our GLAMs attractive places, workplaces for the new guard. Then, just maybe, we can begin poaching talent from Facebook and Google, instead of the other way around. <br />
<br />
Okay. Tackling this entire list at once will surely be a frustrating endeavor for those who bite it off. However, maybe the point of this whole workshop should be identifying and setting up the dominos that need to fall. <br />
<br />
You know, we’ve all kind of been doing this long enough to know that implementing ideas like this in our complex organizations, tradition-heavy orgs is easier said than done.<br />
<br />
But we owe it to our GLAMS, we owe it to our constituents, and we owe it to ourselves to at least try. Because we -- the people in this room -- are the makers, we’re the catalysts, and we’re the ones that can pull it off!<br />
<br />
We are the agents of change. So let’s commit to ending #GLAMerTime by building momentum and transforming the sector through partnership, cooperation, responsiveness, and ingenuity. <br />
<br />
Go back to your institutions with confidence and swagger and start small. Ship a prototype. Then blog about it. Host a #DrinkingAboutMuseums. Form a change coalition within your organization. <br />
<br />
Together – and only together – are we able to stop. #GLAMerTime.<br />

"The World is waiting.

We all have the opportunity to inspire, to have impact, promote knowledge and create the resources to educate and facilitate.

"In October of this year, I organized the very first Personal Archiving Day for the Madison, Wisconsin community. It was held at the Madison Public Library, and sixteen people came. That was not enough. As an archivist-in-training, I recognize that our profession no longer operates in silos: we are not solitary professionals, and our future depends on our ability to integrate our work into the community — and people — we serve. This quick talk will suggest improvements for next year's event: one which will reach further, and do more, for the Madison community."<br />

"The Local Preservation School is a new online school to share the skills and knowledge you need to get your neighbors excited about local history, protect threatened landmarks from demolition, or secure resources for reinvestment in your historic neighborhood. Taking inspiration from new approaches to online learning for data-wrangling, digital history, and computer programming, we wondered how can we use the web (and open-source tools) to make it easier for people across the country to learn about historic preservation? How can we do a better job sharing the skills and knowledge needed to save historic places? This talk is a quick introduction to the project, an invitation to potential contributors and a discussion of how open education can support the effort to integrate technology into small, volunteer-led history and preservation efforts."<br />

"In October of this year, I organized the very first Personal Archiving Day for the Madison, Wisconsin community. It was held at the Madison Public Library, and sixteen people came. That was not enough. As an archivist-in-training, I recognize that our profession no longer operates in silos: we are not solitary professionals, and our future depends on our ability to integrate our work into the community — and people — we serve. This quick talk will suggest improvements for next year's event: one which will reach further, and do more, for the Madison community."<br />

"The Local Preservation School is a new online school to share the skills and knowledge you need to get your neighbors excited about local history, protect threatened landmarks from demolition, or secure resources for reinvestment in your historic neighborhood. Taking inspiration from new approaches to online learning for data-wrangling, digital history, and computer programming, we wondered how can we use the web (and open-source tools) to make it easier for people across the country to learn about historic preservation? How can we do a better job sharing the skills and knowledge needed to save historic places? This talk is a quick introduction to the project, an invitation to potential contributors and a discussion of how open education can support the effort to integrate technology into small, volunteer-led history and preservation efforts."<br />

"A unique new public high school concept to teach students using a curriculum built around the content, collections, experiences, and expertise of public institutions in and around Washington, D.C. Billions of dollars have been invested in public institutions in DC, such as the Smithsonian, Library of Congress, U.S. Capitol, White House, Kennedy Center, National Archives, National Gallery of Art, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, NIH, U.S. Geological Survey, National Park Service, etc. Smithsonian High (or whatever name the school adopts) would leverage this public investment by utilizing these and other institutions to create the heart of the curriculum for students, rather than simply as places to take field trips once or twice a school year."<br />

"Indigo Magic is a talk about my current thesis research and exhibition.The Indigo Magic exhibition uses indigo as a lens to focus on the connections between Africa and the Americas. And furthermore, the exhibit narrows its scope to magnify a nuanced understanding of the aesthetic within African American art forms that connects directly to the West African region of the world. The Indigo Magic exhibition presents works by African-American artists who utilize the hues, the pigment, and at some points the mere spirit of indigo. The art forms include painting, sculpture, photography, videography, fiber, and performance. The magic of indigo is evident in its impact, which is as broad and varied as its history."<br />

"Museums: bastions of culture, bastions of backward labor practices where most internships are only open to people who can afford to work without pay, staff members do not reflect the community in which they sit, and real employment is passed off as contract work so we can avoid giving benefits to people working full-time. This talk will look at some of the major labor issues found in DC-area museums based upon the work of the #museumworkersspeak movement. It will also propose a number of basic solutions that museums in DC can adopt to ensure their workers are treated fairly and open the possibility of museum work to all, including paying your f-ing interns. Imagine the possibilities if DC-area museums came together in support of fair labor practices and a commitment to diversity in our hiring practices.

==INDIGO MAGIC== <br />
===Kibibi Ajanku, Maryland Institute College of Art=== <br />
[http://twitter.com/KibibiAjanku @KibibiAjanku]<br />
<br />
I am Kibibi Ajanku. I am a performing artist, but I'm also an MFA candidate at the Maryland Institute College of Art, and what I've done is bring all that I am into one place through curatorial practice. <br />
<br />
My forte is traditional African dance and drum. Indigo is in itself magic. It's magical because it does these things that they just speak to you, call to you. It's magical because it has such a rich and dynamic history that goes in so many directions. You see it in the Tuareg desert people where the men are the ones who wrapped their faces wrapped their heads and use turbans and wrapped their faces in indigo cloth. Calling themselves the blue people, because that protects them. <br />
<br />
It's believed that the indigo protects them as they cross the desert. It's magical. The Egyptian Pharaoh had a sail on his ship, and his ship alone that was blue telling people to part the ways, but it gets different, it gets different because indigo was introduced to America by Eliza Pinckney. She needed a new crop, and that cash crop was indigo, bringing slavery and changing the waterways and changing the commodity. <br />
<br />
Well indigo magic is an exhibition, because I'm in an art school, and that is my thesis study. It's an exploration of indigenous content, and the way it shows up in African American art forms. It uses indigo as a lens to focus on the connections between Africa and the Americas. As a color, as a dye, as a commodity, indigo has had fast impact on art and culture worldwide, and it suggests and dignifies connections to so many different places: India, Egypt, mummies, you know it's just magical magical, and it's got this mystique.<br />
<br />
It’s been used as medicine. It's been used through history and shown up in so many ways even in Europe. The Warriors it was called the Warriors herb, because the Warriors painted their faces believing that that blue hue would protect them in battle. <br />
<br />
Indigo magic it's a group show. Envision a collection of works, a collection that is blue not necessarily in color, but a collection that is blue in spirit, as well. The artists have been chosen because a steeped in a regal majestic blue. Their work is, their visions of indigo maybe as a trade commodity or strong African content. <br />
<br />
The artists include Ernest Kromah. He is a living legacy. He is the oldest of these, and he has much work that is inspired by his travel to Africa. <br />
<br />
Larry Poncho Brown. He is one of the most renowned artists, but has much work that also inspired by his travel to Africa. This piece right there has people pointing, and moving in the path of indigo. <br />
<br />
Karen McAdoo Clark also inspired by her journey to Africa, now an excellent potter, but now hand builds, and does things that are right there steeped in her journey to Africa. <br />
<br />
Karen Buster. These visions were hers before she ever visited the continent of Africa, and once she got there she found out that what had been coming through her was actually what she would see when she arrived.<br />
<br />
This photographer has indigo all the way there. These are indigo cakes processed in Africa. That is the site of a village where indigo is dyed, and then in a marketplace where indigo is sold.<br />
<br />
Sankofa Dance Theater with newly commissioned work entitled indigo magic will be part of the experience, because I believe that you need to bring people into museums not only by the art on the wall, but also by interacting with people, and having public programs. <br />
<br />
This Baltimore Girls. It’s runway upcycled denim, so you take old stuff, and you make it new again, and make it funky, fly. <br />
<br />
Tie dye workshops so that young people can touch, and the experience, and feel it not only through them their breath, their heart, their mind, their body, their spirit, and take a little something home as well.<br />
<br />
Gallery talks with some of Baltimore's own professionals. Chezia Strand does humanistic studies, examples of indigo tradition through her writing. Kokahvah Selassie work experience how African art shows up in Toni Morrison work, and then the last was Mr. Bingham who has a vast collection of indigo, and African artifacts.<br />
<br />
So the place is the Frederick Douglass Isaac Myers museum, because indigo has been such a trade commodity, this museum sits on the pier that slaves were brought into. It sits on the pier where Frederick Douglass and Isaac Myers both experienced Baltimore in a new and different kind of way, experienced America in a new and different kind of way, just as indigo has changed the lives of many that it’s touched.</div>Waynehttps://wiki.diglib.org/index.php?title=Ignite_talks&diff=14120Ignite talks2018-08-09T14:36:04Z<p>Wayne: /* Kibibi Ajanku, Maryland Institute College of Art: Indigo Magic */</p>

"The World is waiting. Students strive to learn and expand their horizons, educators seek to create and have impact and adults seek to accumulate new and impactful knowledge to improve their understanding of the World. We all have the opportunity to inspire, to have impact, promote knowledge and create the resources to educate and facilitate. We must all be digital curators and navigators and make available contextualized content in ways easily consumed by those seeking it. Lets remember it is about them not us."<br />

=SMITHSONIAN HIGH= <br />
==Nik Apostolides, U.S. Capitol, Visitor Center== <br />
[http://twitter.com/napostolides @napostolides]<br />
<br />
I want to thank my wife who challenged me to give this talk and start doing something about this idea. It's about my hometown Washington, DC where our graduation rate is sixty-four percent, which is a high for the city, but is low compared to the counties that are immediately around the city. It's something that I really feel as a lifelong resident, DC teens deserve better. <br />
<br />
You'll hear this frustration in the voice of DC students heading onto these high schools like 10th grader Jerome Petticolas who confronted with an old school that needs updated textbooks and science equipment said, “This makes us feel unwanted or unwelcome.” Jerome deserves better. <br />
<br />
You'll hear it in the voice of DC students heading already in high school like senior Dyamond Gooding who said, “We achievers are in a Stone-Age learning environment.” Dyamond deserves better. <br />
<br />
And you'll hear the desire for a new kind of high school in DC students like Destini Tyree who said, “People think we're bad kids. I'm only 16. I didn't drop out. I just wanted to go to a go to school in a different way.” Destini deserves better.<br />
<br />
And she's right that there is a different way and a different kind of high school in Washington is needed now. We're the home of problem solvers, the wonks, the science, the research, and public policy nerds who aspire to tackle the world's biggest challenges like disease, global warming, space exploration, the environment, and so on. <br />
<br />
But we need a different kind of high school curriculum. Harvard's Tony Wagner has said, “Today, knowledge is available on every internet-connected device, so what you know matters far less than what you can do with what you know, and that's the kind of school we need.” He also said, “The capacity to innovate, the ability to solve problems creatively or bring new possibilities to life and skills like critical thinking, communication, and collaboration are far more important than solely academic knowledge.” <br />
<br />
Fortunately, we don't need to spend billions of dollars creating the kind of public research and cultural institutions to address the world's biggest challenges, like tackling poverty, hunger, education, saving the environment, and so on.<br />
<br />
Billions have already been invested here in Washington, DC over many years to tackle these huge problems. With breakthrough technologies and radical solutions we are standing at the center of that X Factor that our teens need to thrive in the 21st century. Billions have already been invested here in Washington, DC. <br />
<br />
Over and these public institutions, we have the highest concentration of them anywhere in the world—free, accessible that's something we should think about, what are we doing with it?<br />
<br />
They’re in fields of study that high school students need most like science, technology, engineering, and math: NIH, NASA, Smithsonian research programs, air and space, and natural history museums, the National Park Service, the US Geological survey, and also arts and culture, the Smithsonian Art and History Museums, the US capital where I work, the White House, the Library of Congress, the National Gallery of Art, the Kennedy Center, the National Archives--where many of you all are represented representing here today, and all of these free public institutions have individual mandates to make their research, your research your collections accessible and free and open to the public. <br />
<br />
However local DC high school students are currently really only using them for one-off projects or the occasional field trip. That's not only a wasted opportunity, I think that's a waste of our public investment.<br />
<br />
All of these public institutions also have digital repositories, collections, research databases, social media, and other forums to share their groundbreaking research and projects. And many have already created curriculum plans for students to learn from their work, so the building blocks for a project-based learning already exists. We just need a new high school to put this research at the core of the curriculum. At the center of an innovative new school for public high school students that can build on that public that project-based learning platform. It can't exist in a vacuum. <br />
<br />
We have dual enrollment partners scattered all over the city. We can help teens get the opportunities now to build a pathway to for success, a pathway to get college credit. These institutions that you see are dying to improve their own graduation rates and completion rates. They would love to partner with a new kind of high school to help achieve their own mission, and new high schools like me to include a new way of measuring achievement accomplishment of students. <br />
<br />
Thomas Friedman and others have talked about the importance of having digital portfolios. Let's give students something that will and merit badges. Let's reinvent the way that high schools recognize achievement of their students.<br />
<br />
Finally we've got to we've gotta do something for Jerome, and these kids who are aspiring to be high schoolers in DC. This is a way that we can leverage our resources and help them achieve their dreams.<br />
<br />
Though what I'm calling this the working title is Smithsonian High, and I love any of your ideas or feedback for how to make it happen.<br />

<br />
I want to thank my wife who challenged me to give this talk and start doing something about this idea. It's about my hometown Washington, DC where our graduation rate is sixty-four percent, which is a high for the city, but is low compared to the counties that are immediately around the city. It's something that I really feel as a lifelong resident, DC teens deserve better. <br />
<br />
You'll hear this frustration in the voice of DC students heading onto these high schools like 10th grader Jerome Petticolas who confronted with an old school that needs updated textbooks and science equipment said, “This makes us feel unwanted or unwelcome.” Jerome deserves better. <br />
<br />
You'll hear it in the voice of DC students heading already in high school like senior Dyamond Gooding who said, “We achievers are in a Stone-Age learning environment.” Dyamond deserves better. <br />
<br />
And you'll hear the desire for a new kind of high school in DC students like Destini Tyree who said, “People think we're bad kids. I'm only 16. I didn't drop out. I just wanted to go to a go to school in a different way.” Destini deserves better.<br />

"The World is waiting. Students strive to learn and expand their horizons, educators seek to create and have impact and adults seek to accumulate new and impactful knowledge to improve their understanding of the World. We all have the opportunity to inspire, to have impact, promote knowledge and create the resources to educate and facilitate. We must all be digital curators and navigators and make available contextualized content in ways easily consumed by those seeking it. Lets remember it is about them not us."<br />

"In October of this year, I organized the very first Personal Archiving Day for the Madison, Wisconsin community. It was held at the Madison Public Library, and sixteen people came. That was not enough. As an archivist-in-training, I recognize that our profession no longer operates in silos: we are not solitary professionals, and our future depends on our ability to integrate our work into the community — and people — we serve. This quick talk will suggest improvements for next year's event: one which will reach further, and do more, for the Madison community."<br />

"The Local Preservation School is a new online school to share the skills and knowledge you need to get your neighbors excited about local history, protect threatened landmarks from demolition, or secure resources for reinvestment in your historic neighborhood. Taking inspiration from new approaches to online learning for data-wrangling, digital history, and computer programming, we wondered how can we use the web (and open-source tools) to make it easier for people across the country to learn about historic preservation? How can we do a better job sharing the skills and knowledge needed to save historic places? This talk is a quick introduction to the project, an invitation to potential contributors and a discussion of how open education can support the effort to integrate technology into small, volunteer-led history and preservation efforts."<br />

"A unique new public high school concept to teach students using a curriculum built around the content, collections, experiences, and expertise of public institutions in and around Washington, D.C. Billions of dollars have been invested in public institutions in DC, such as the Smithsonian, Library of Congress, U.S. Capitol, White House, Kennedy Center, National Archives, National Gallery of Art, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, NIH, U.S. Geological Survey, National Park Service, etc. Smithsonian High (or whatever name the school adopts) would leverage this public investment by utilizing these and other institutions to create the heart of the curriculum for students, rather than simply as places to take field trips once or twice a school year."<br />

"Indigo Magic is a talk about my current thesis research and exhibition.The Indigo Magic exhibition uses indigo as a lens to focus on the connections between Africa and the Americas. And furthermore, the exhibit narrows its scope to magnify a nuanced understanding of the aesthetic within African American art forms that connects directly to the West African region of the world. The Indigo Magic exhibition presents works by African-American artists who utilize the hues, the pigment, and at some points the mere spirit of indigo. The art forms include painting, sculpture, photography, videography, fiber, and performance. The magic of indigo is evident in its impact, which is as broad and varied as its history."<br />

"Museums: bastions of culture, bastions of backward labor practices where most internships are only open to people who can afford to work without pay, staff members do not reflect the community in which they sit, and real employment is passed off as contract work so we can avoid giving benefits to people working full-time. This talk will look at some of the major labor issues found in DC-area museums based upon the work of the #museumworkersspeak movement. It will also propose a number of basic solutions that museums in DC can adopt to ensure their workers are treated fairly and open the possibility of museum work to all, including paying your f-ing interns. Imagine the possibilities if DC-area museums came together in support of fair labor practices and a commitment to diversity in our hiring practices. How much could we change the culture of museums nationwide?"<br />

==LOCAL PRESERVATION 101== <br />
===Eli Pousson, Baltimore Heritage=== <br />
[http://twitter.com/elipousson @elipousson]<br />
<br />
Hello. My name is Eli Pousson, and I work for a small nonprofit in Baltimore Maryland dedicated to historic preservation advocacy and heritage education. I'm here to introduce the local preservation school, explain why I think Open Source matters to historic preservation, and invite you to get involved as a student, a teacher, or maybe both to what is historic preservation.<br />
<br />
Preservation is inspired by the idea the important stories are found not only in museums and libraries. Important stories are everywhere around us. They are in parks. They are in public art. They are in buildings and neighborhoods, and key is that good stories about places are really about people. Historian Eric Sandweiss explained it neatly. The history of a city street means little if it's not tied to the story of the farmer who sold the land, the developer who bought it from him, the families who campaigned for it, who paid the men, who laid the asphalt for the children who rode their bikes on it. So over fifty years ago a group of civic minded activists and historians founded Baltimore Heritage. And in 1960 were fighting with mimeograph newsletters against highways and urban renewal, and now we're fighting for neighborhood revitalization with social media. <br />
<br />
But in most American cities saving places starts with education. Planners of public agencies teach coworkers. Volunteer docents at historic sites teach neighbors, and nonprofit advocates like me teach everyone we can. We teach why old buildings are important, and what we can do to fix them up. <br />
<br />
And so, you know it can be tough sometimes to feel like you're making a difference. You know have you ever wondered what you get when you cross a program director, a volunteer manager, and a janitor? The typical situation in most non-profit organizations.<br />
<br />
One of the most important lessons that we've learned at Baltimore Heritage is that free digital tools are key to overcoming the limits of a small staff and budget. Open source projects like WordPress and Omeka empower us to connect with our neighbors. If we had relied solely on costly proprietary tools we could spend twice the money with half the impact. The good news is that we're not alone, but the bad news is that many volunteer and professional preservationists still struggle to learn the new tools and approaches they need to achieve their own goals. <br />
<br />
So the local preservation school is based on the idea that historic preservation succeeds when we can empower people to save the places that matter to their block, to their neighborhood, to their city. The local preservation school is for people who want to save historic places to teach and learn together. There are many excellent online resources available on preservation, but they're often overwhelming. Especially for volunteers who do this work on evenings and weekends. Our goal is to provide these volunteers with openly licensed self-guided lessons designed to teach the knowledge and skills people need to save historic places. <br />
<br />
And so this is built on local knowledge because historic preservation is not just a job for experts or professionals. You may be one of the thousands of volunteers working to restore a park, revitalize a main street business district. <br />
<br />
The local preservation school is for you and your neighbors. A place to find new resources, and a place to share your knowledge. So we're committed to creating open educational resources that are accessible to beginners not overwhelmed by jargon or requirements for expensive software. This incidentally is a children's librarian in Kensington that my kids go to when we visit my parents. <br />
<br />
Historic places should not be boring. Taking full advantage of the web means that we can make it easy for interested learners to share their progress whether they are crafting the perfect caption for a Throwback Thursday photo, or making an interactive map of vacant buildings on their street.<br />
<br />
So why make this open? Open educational resources reduce barriers to access, ensure educators have the rights to retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute educational resources without having to ask permission. <br />
<br />
So with funding from the National Park Service, and plans to adopt a variety of public domain resources as the basis for this project, it couldn't exist without this kind of public support, and we want to pay it forward by dedicating nearly all of our work on this project to the public domain under a Creative Commons zero license. <br />
<br />
So how can you join the local preservation school? And so we're inspired by the myriad of open source efforts that create an open invitation for people to get involved and share their time and talents to make something bigger and better than they could ever create alone. And so we opened the school at the beginning of October, and we're working to launch her first course in January.<br />
<br />
The power to tell your own story is fundamental to saving historic places. And with Explore Baltimore Heritage 101, we plan to teach Baltimore residents, students, and scholars how to research and write about Historic Places in their communities.<br />
<br />
But at this point we still have a lot more questions than answers. We are collecting ideas for lessons and mapping out topics that we'd like to cover. If you’re interested in learning about preservation, teaching about preservation, or you just love older towns and cities we’d love to talk to you about the local preservation school. <br />
<br />
And you can even watch me work on this on Twitter. I'm inspired by a phrase from the 1966 with Heritage So Rich that writes the past is not the property of historians it is a public possession. It belongs to anyone who is aware of it, and it grows by being shared. I’ll end by asking you submit a poll request on Github. Share a question a link, or a comment on Twitter, with the #localpast. Give me a call and say hello. We want to work with you and your neighbors to make a local preservation school into a resource for communities across the nation. <br />
<br />
Thank you.</div>Waynehttps://wiki.diglib.org/index.php?title=Ignite_talks&diff=14115Ignite talks2018-08-09T14:31:29Z<p>Wayne: /* Eli Pousson, Baltimore Heritage: Local Preservation 101 */</p>

''[[File:New.png|69x33px]][[Ignite talk - Kevin Novak|Video and transcript]]''<br />
"The World is waiting. Students strive to learn and expand their horizons, educators seek to create and have impact and adults seek to accumulate new and impactful knowledge to improve their understanding of the World. We all have the opportunity to inspire, to have impact, promote knowledge and create the resources to educate and facilitate. We must all be digital curators and navigators and make available contextualized content in ways easily consumed by those seeking it. Lets remember it is about them not us."<br />

"In October of this year, I organized the very first Personal Archiving Day for the Madison, Wisconsin community. It was held at the Madison Public Library, and sixteen people came. That was not enough. As an archivist-in-training, I recognize that our profession no longer operates in silos: we are not solitary professionals, and our future depends on our ability to integrate our work into the community — and people — we serve. This quick talk will suggest improvements for next year's event: one which will reach further, and do more, for the Madison community."<br />

"Museums, galleries, and digital interfaces are hyper visual domains. But the creative method for tackling this disproportion is not just to ‘rebalance’ the senses, it is to remix the whole approach to senses. Based on my last year of research, this talk lays down a method for reconsidering the senses, starting with your own body."<br />

"The Local Preservation School is a new online school to share the skills and knowledge you need to get your neighbors excited about local history, protect threatened landmarks from demolition, or secure resources for reinvestment in your historic neighborhood. Taking inspiration from new approaches to online learning for data-wrangling, digital history, and computer programming, we wondered how can we use the web (and open-source tools) to make it easier for people across the country to learn about historic preservation? How can we do a better job sharing the skills and knowledge needed to save historic places? This talk is a quick introduction to the project, an invitation to potential contributors and a discussion of how open education can support the effort to integrate technology into small, volunteer-led history and preservation efforts."<br />

"A unique new public high school concept to teach students using a curriculum built around the content, collections, experiences, and expertise of public institutions in and around Washington, D.C. Billions of dollars have been invested in public institutions in DC, such as the Smithsonian, Library of Congress, U.S. Capitol, White House, Kennedy Center, National Archives, National Gallery of Art, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, NIH, U.S. Geological Survey, National Park Service, etc. Smithsonian High (or whatever name the school adopts) would leverage this public investment by utilizing these and other institutions to create the heart of the curriculum for students, rather than simply as places to take field trips once or twice a school year."<br />

[[File:openlabworkshop/New.png|69x33px]] [[Ignite talk - Kibibi Ajanku|Video and transcript]]<br />
"Indigo Magic is a talk about my current thesis research and exhibition.The Indigo Magic exhibition uses indigo as a lens to focus on the connections between Africa and the Americas. And furthermore, the exhibit narrows its scope to magnify a nuanced understanding of the aesthetic within African American art forms that connects directly to the West African region of the world. The Indigo Magic exhibition presents works by African-American artists who utilize the hues, the pigment, and at some points the mere spirit of indigo. The art forms include painting, sculpture, photography, videography, fiber, and performance. The magic of indigo is evident in its impact, which is as broad and varied as its history."<br />

=Elissa Frankle , United States Holocaust Memorial Museum: ''Pay your F-ing Interns''= <br />
[[File:New.png|69x33px]] [[Ignite talk - Elissa Frankle|Video and transcript]]<br />
"Museums: bastions of culture, bastions of backward labor practices where most internships are only open to people who can afford to work without pay, staff members do not reflect the community in which they sit, and real employment is passed off as contract work so we can avoid giving benefits to people working full-time. This talk will look at some of the major labor issues found in DC-area museums based upon the work of the #museumworkersspeak movement. It will also propose a number of basic solutions that museums in DC can adopt to ensure their workers are treated fairly and open the possibility of museum work to all, including paying your f-ing interns. Imagine the possibilities if DC-area museums came together in support of fair labor practices and a commitment to diversity in our hiring practices. How much could we change the culture of museums nationwide?"<br />

"I'd like to put 'museum time' in context by placing it in linear perspective against 'real world' time and 'technology time.' This Ignite talk will attempt to break down the correlation between our cultural missions rooted in long view historical perspective and the epidemic of institutional inertia that is paralyzing rapid response and innovation across the sector. I will also make the argument that these characteristics are not mutually exclusive."<br />

"CLASS-D meets a current challenge in the scientific, humanities and cultural heritage realm through storage of and access to the increasing volume of digital assets. The establishment of standardized digital protocols for storing and accessing scientific cultural heritage data is critical to ensuring interoperability between heritage institutions. Interactive visualization and linking of data is the key underpinning this integration with the concept of scriptospatial bringing alive our historic collections and scientific and humanities data."<br />

"What if nearly all people understood the ways in which human beings in different places and times have used images to give expression to their most deeply held beliefs and most profound questions? What would it mean if nearly 100% of us understood the architectural vocabulary that shapes and gives meaning to our streets and public squares? What if people around the world better appreciated the meaning and beauty of each other’s visual heritage? What would it mean if nearly every museum visitor was visually and historically literate? How can museums, libraries, and others begin to look past their traditional communities and define how they can best unlock their expertise and collections to best serve a huge, global audience of learners?"<br />

"Museums won't change until they question assumptions. Museums will operate the way they always have, assuming the old way is best. Is that true? Museum technologists gamely build atop ancient infrastructure, assuming it's not negotiable. Really? Museum social media managers create a new content layer connecting collections to popular culture, assuming existing content strategies must be preserved, and that educators and curators can't be bothered. In 20 slides I'll question assumptions, sound the idols, poke the sleeping dragons, name the roadblocks and open new paths. I've found in my career--from academia to technology and marketing to museums--that naive questions from a different perspective are a spark for creativity. Damn the torpedoes (and silos, collections management systems, mission drift, copyright paranoia, archaic org structures...) full speed ahead."<br />

==SENSORY LEARNING IN MUSEUMS== <br />
===By Leslie Kadish, Georgetown University, Smithsonian Institute=== <br />
[http://twitter.com/radishwak @radishwak]<br />
<br />
Okay, my name is Lesley Kadish. It’s nice to be here.<br />
<br />
A leaf falls loneliness. The poet who wrote this line EE Cummings was a master of disruption. His poems broke all the rules. Old forms deconstructed. Old words reframed anew. Lets us disrupt and reassemble.<br />
<br />
Sit up and cross your legs if you're sitting, and stand up and cross your arms if you're standing. Take a deep breath, and I invite you to close your eyes. Relax your tongue. Note the inside of your mouth. Press your feet into the ground. Now soften. Notice stillness. Listen for motion. As you take in the sound, notice you are in a body. This body is in a space, and the space has a texture, temperature, and a tone. Museum professionals can learn from EE.<br />
<br />
He writes since feeling as first who pays attention to the syntax of things. Kisses he says are a better fate than wisdom. How would we curate this close-eyed moment we just had. This kiss of the space on our senses. <br />
<br />
Traditionally we curate wisdom. Museums are intellectual, textual, visual, object-based, but bodies are complex. We learn on levels that are kinesthetic multisensory and not always processed in the language parts of the brain. Neurobiologists talk about more than just the five senses. There's interoception proprioception, chronoception, but what matters is this: we need to bring forth our bodies complex way of learning and connect it to the intellectual, the textual, the visual. How do we do it? <br />
<br />
One way is to ask seemingly absurd questions. If this room were a bird what kind would it be? What is the shape of the sound of my voice? Is this UnConference more of a stone in the sun or a freshly cut apple? What is the smell of this slide? There is no right answer. These kind of questions though disrupt the dominant deep ruts that have us doing the same thing over and over. They give us a new lexicon for understanding, but the most important part isn't the question. It's bringing ourselves as professionals right into the heart of the disruption. It's holding the moment softly, patiently waiting for something to arise. Because it always does. After I've asked what is the shape of what is the smell of this painting people do me a, “Oh I don't know. I'm not creative. You're asking the wrong person.” But I wait I allow space and then they say, “Coconut.”<br />
<br />
They read the label text. They look at the object closely. Together we explore what it was about the coconut that kissed them. These seemingly small disruptions engage a sublingual pre-cognitive realm of the body that thinks in gestures, shapes, smells, and memories. These are valid ways of knowing. In fact<br />
a world of future innovation dwells here. This is my point: start with the senses, all of the senses. Recognize the complexity of your own body's wisdom. Then ask the questions that have no right answers. Do this in galleries. In your staff meetings, and do it at home. And be patient, because something will arise, and when it does you'll see the same thing anew. <br />
<br />
