Engaging Community through Museum Collections
With Dr. Khalid el-Hakim, Jessica Rubenacker, Lynda Romero (Pojoaque Pueblo) and Jennifer Himmelreich (Diné).
As we reflect on the history and purpose of museums with a critical eye, it is also important to reexamine the various roles and uses of cultural collections. How are museum collections being used? By whom? And to what end? Join panelists from across the country as they discuss the ways in which they use collections to engage with the communities they serve.
This event is free and open to the public. Advanced registration is required.
