KAZEMBE BALAGUN: THE LOCAL
Art & Society Census Working Group
April 7, 14, 21, 28 // Wednesdays at 6pm
Working groups are free, facilitated courses, meeting once per week online for the month of April. Register for this first event and you are registered for the entire course. For questions or to get on a waiting list once registration is closed, please email cfisher@bklynlibrary.org.
We’ve received the first wave of responses from the Art & Society Census, a project dedicated to hearing about what you desire from arts and culture. We’ve invited experienced Facilitators to lead virtual public working groups, focusing on specific issues based on popular interest.
For the first two weeks, this working group will focus on CONNECTING WITH THE LOCAL. The second two weeks will focus on Visioning, imagining the kinds of arts experiences and spaces we want. A public event in June with leaders from the arts & culture field will share the results of these discussions.
Connecting With the Local
Key questions: How can we expand on culture in the local context? What can museums do to more fully engage you in their work? How can cultural organizations bring all of their resources (intellectual, human, financial) to the communities that surround them or that they seek to engage? Is there a local museum or cultural space that you’ve never been to, and why haven’t you visited? How do institutions become more responsive to participant/visitor knowledge?
