BOOK LAUNCH EVENT!On Thursday October 13th, join us for a soiree and panel discussion in the Ballroom at Graduate Seattle, a beautiful art deco themed boutique hotel in the University District of Seattle. Priya Frank (Director of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion at Seattle Art Museum) will be discussing themes from the new book along with chapter contributors Regina Ford (SVP of People & Culture, Pacific Science Center) Polly Olsen (Director of DEAI & Decolonization and Tribal Liaison at Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture), and David Rue (Dancer and Arts Advocate). Doors will open at 6:30pm. Light refreshments and drinks will be offered. "How does a diverse community thrive in spaces that were designed to be exclusionary? Museums—with histories tied to colonial violence and racist practices and whose survival is largely reliant on the generosity of wealthy donors—were not built to be inclusive. Yet many museums’ missions and the people who bring these missions to life have egalitarian aims. In recent years museum practitioners across the country have been proactively confronting our histories of colonization and exclusion and advancing equity and inclusion." - From Small Wins to Sweeping Change: Working Together to Foster Equity, Inclusion, and Antiracism in Museums.
