Pretty amazing to see this outing of established museum practices so clearly articulated by mainstream media! #decolonizethemuseum

Here's our piece from last night on museums, the market for stolen antiquities, and statues without feet...https://t.co/q4dFNkHP84

Check out the new #RawMaterial #podcast series ‘Visions of Black Futurity' hosted by @sfmoma podcaster-in-residence Babette Thomas. In Episode 1: Finding Kinship in the Archive she uncovers #hiddenhistories of #BlackCuration in the #BayArea #ejmontgomery https://t.co/QbUWVBkjbS

@bdekoz @footage @SFMOMA Sad to see that @sfmoma is withdrawing from community programs like @SFMOMAArtistsG allery and @Open_Space, also. The #ArtistsGallery has been the one way @sfmoma's consistently offered support to #bayarea #artists it did not show for over 50 years. This is no time to stop.

@shineslike just heard you on @NPRatc talking about the resurrection & #digitaldistribution of @MuseeLouvre for #pandemictimes. Loved your comments about your favorite museum pathways being the ones less traveled, leading away from #hero-works and to more personal connections! 👍🏼

Great tribute to #MuseumEd leader ⁦@KrisWetterlund⁩ today on @cmog blog. Quotes: “challenging museums to question their assumptions,” “relentless & courageous,” “most powerful & direct.” That’s our Kris! Brava! #equity #respect #retirement 👏🏼🌹🌹🌹 https://t.co/LFyla7eHeJ

@HeidiLowther It just took me awhile to screw up the courage to listen 🎧—and when I did, I liked what I heard! The book feels prescient & more relevant than ever.

[Peter Samis @psamis]

Amazing. I’m afraid to hear what my new voice sounds like!

[Heidi Lowther (on maternity leave) @HeidiLowther]

So very excited to announce that Creating the Visitor-centered Museum is now available as an audiobook! You can listen to a sample here: https://t.co/upo1oPU3aW Also accessible via Audible, Google Play etc. #museum #audiobook

@HeidiLowther Yes, thanks Heidi, I did.

Loeffler ran ads darkening Warnock’s skin and Perdue ran ads enlarging Ossoff’s nose and I’m not done thinking about that

[Peter Samis @psamis]

This is incredible — and it wasn’t even penned by @Lin_Manuel! Apparently, either #AlexanderHamilton had #2020 foresight... or human nature doesn’t change.

@KateHG4 Kate, this looks great! It reminds me a bit of the old Pinky Show. Did you ever see that? https://t.co/thKfWOZ9YJ

If you had penned such immortal classics as “Crocodile Rock,” I’m sure you’d be there already! 🤣

@drkeir @shineslike @artstuffmatters @vargasl @drkeir so sorry I missed it! Was it recorded?

This is what democracy looks like‼️ They're counting mail-in ballots at Pennsylvania Convention Center.

@MissHQ @sctttnnnt @TheBroad Once around the barn—or was that... the country! Congrats, Heidi, and good luck/good work at The Broad! 🙏🏼

Takeaways from a trip to beautiful ⁦@MuirWoodsNPS⁩ today. #museuminterpretation #museumed https://t.co/ltzSxUi0vO

@murawski27 @MichelleNMoon Congratulations, Mike. 👏🏼Sometimes #shelteringinplace can serve as a creative retreat! I hope it worked that way for you.

[Peter Samis @psamis]

Amazing conv. today about #truthandreconciliation. #RabbiSharonBrous asks: "What does it mean to build a nation on a dishonest narrative?" @BryanStevenson notes "There are no Adolf Hitler statues in Germany" today, a potent contrast. #IKAR https://t.co/KTeeeLOivn
