This was a big moment in museum activism and a connection point for so many of the people & movements Dr. Moore lists in this thread. There’s so much work left to do, but thank you @PorchiaMuseM for noting & celebrating what has been done and encouraging the work to continue!

We lost a truly righteous leader this weekend. Cancer took @CLegutko with little warning, leaving the museum field with a gaping hole. This was her last tweet. Of course it was. She was a badass ⚡️ If you’d like to add a memory to this thread, I’d be grateful 🥲

So pleased to share this article @Jamiejhagen and I recently published about feminist solidarity and collective action in the US/UK museum sector. Open access! Download pdf: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…
So many provocations and catalyzing thoughts from @PorchiaMuseM ❤️ today, but amongst them this idea of “Interpretation as Transgression”, asking critical questions (of ourselves, art, audience, & institution) is foundational. @ArtMuseumInterp
Five mins into @ArtMuseumInterp at beautiful @DenverArtMuseum & already deeply inspired by the thoughtful intro by @SwarupaAnila & @PorchiaMuseM #aami22
“who gets to define what a museum is? why must we limit what we can be? who does this serve and who does it leave out?” @chayaarabia I don’t worry about the future of museums with folks like you around. Read her 🧵 of gratitude & thoughtful reflections here👇

Interesting. What does it mean to center kindness for the visitor in planning an exhibition? Will you get a different result if you focus on kindness for the artist(s), for the curator(s)? Could these kindness practices come into conflict?
+ "If history-oriented organizations aren’t devoting time to engaging with & reflecting on how their own history and the legacies that continue to shape them today—then how can we be a sector that advocates for the way understanding the past is crucial within our everyday lives?”

Very excited to speak on a plenary session about #museums and purpose tomorrow at #maam2023 @midatlanticmuse conference! Look, I've had a career and it's been a ride. So this session is gonna get spicy, because I have some things to say 👀
The #AAM2023 general session shared a tribute to Cinnamon Catlin-Legutko, late Director of the @ILStateMuseum, honored with the Award for Distinguished Service to Museums. Cinnamon used her power to change lives, inspire movements, and challenge status quos—and is greatly missed.
Great thread celebrating museum activism. Lucky to have worked with and been inspired by many listed...especially @bttyanne @gretchjenn @SaraPhalen.
This picture captures what is arguably one of the most important moments in museum history. 2015. AAM. Rogue session that became the Museum Workers Speak movement. Thanks to Alyssa Greenburg and crew.

This image captures the birth of @MuseumsandRace. The birth of MASS Action. Thanks to Elisabeth Callihan. In some form The Birth of the Visitors of Color project with @nikhiltri . Collaboration of @incluseum with @magmidd insisting on transformation and reflexivity in museums.
This image is responsible for no more unpaid labor and unpaid internships and we recognize the work of Nicole Ivy, @AAMers FIRST Director of Inclusion. We recognize Cecille Shellman, Radiah Harper, Cecile Garibay and so many others who paved and blazed trails. This image thanks
Gretchen Jennings and the brilliant minds of @EmpatheticMuse and so many others. No matter anyone says. This image. Those captured here and not. These are the architects of what has been called Museum Activism. The change makers and change agents in the early stages of change!!
Tag yourself if you have done the work + contributed to this work one day ago, last week, last year. Last 2 decades. Don't let this moment be erased. Don't let this work be muted for political puppets. Keep this thread going. I celebrate each of you wherever you may be. 🌟
Oh I'm a lucky one: sunshine, cinnamon buns, and my one true love
Birthday breakfast for my favorite one @magmidd! 🎉
Rebeccca Solnit shares something many programmers will appreciate.
“But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. #MLK
For those of you caught up in whether there will be “riots,” in #Memphis when the #TyreNichols video drops. Who are more concerned with tranquility. Who are getting groceries and gas today in case the heathens come out. Let me just drop some good brother #MLK for ya.
@magmidd @MuseumWorkers @artstuffmatters @DirectorACM @KayleighBinDC @shineslike @murawski27 @NFPLeadership @CollardStudies @adriannerussell @bttyanne @CLegutko @LauraEdythe @PorchiaMuseM @LauraRaicovich @RSMuseumStudies @waji35 Thanks for this piece, nice to be reminded of so many beautiful and important acts of museum worker activism and possibility in the face of institutional opposition.
Enjoying seeing the small museum love on Twitter this am. Some of my all time favorite museums are tiny. Most museums in the world are small museums. They can be surprising, quirky, or elegantly simple. I would never fault a museum with a small budget for being physically small.
Brilliant folks we cite: @MuseumWorkers, @artstuffmatters, @DirectorACM, @KayleighBinDC, @shineslike, @murawski27, @NFPLeadership, @CollardStudies, @adriannerussell, @bttyanne, @CLegutko, @LauraEdythe, @museum_matters, @PorchiaMuseM, @LauraRaicovich, @RSMuseumStudies, @waji35
Next time they should try implementing some of that “inclusive” plan by sharing credit with the members who have been pushing AAM for action FOR YEARS. @AAMers
Found this to be a bold (and deeply flawed) statement: The plan for diversity, equity, accessibility and inclusion goals “is a watershed moment in our field’s history,” said Laura Lott, the American Alliance of Museums president and chief executive.” nytimes.com/2022/10/13/art…
How can call your own org’s plan a “watershed moment” when it not only builds on the work/demands that so many others have done/made in the last 8-10 yrs, but also happening much later than many other professional orgs?!? Make it make sense!!!
