Be warned, they are full of magic.

We’re at @MuseumsAssoc #museums2019 talking engagement around global environmental challenges, including #PacificCurrents at @MAACambridge & #OperationSurvival with @FireHazardGames

[Miranda Stearn @MirandaStearn]

#Museums2019 Also good questions to ask ourselves: how serious are we about community agency? Whose cultural rights are we representing? Are we building the right spaces? (Not just spaces that work for museum)

[University of Cambridge Museums @CamUnivMuseums]

Poooow! The Queer Avengers have arrived at our #museums2019 session exploring LGBTQ+ identities in museums🌈

“Giving voices to those who weren’t allowed them”, “acknowledge your perspective, decentre your knowledge” - making objects speak & telling the stories they can’t tell.

Thanks to everyone for a cracking Day One #MuseumRemix @CamUnivMuseums - closest to a group photo I have. 😂
