We do more than host conversations – we CREATE them through our exhibitions, programs, and other activities. We embed conversation into everything we do.
We don’t repeat familiar narratives, paradigms or stereotypes. We recognize, present and affirm different ideas, perspectives and experiences.
We create conversations that challenge preconceptions and prevailing ideas. We invite people to get comfortable with discomfort.
We create conversations to foster emotional and intellectual growth and to create change in our community. The conversations we create provide participants with tools for action they can use outside the gallery – in their thinking and their daily lives.
We provide:
clear content advisories, codes of conduct, and tips on how to respectfully listen, ask questions, and respond to conversation
clear communication around the content and structure of conversations, so participants can consent to the experience they are electing into
skilled moderators who provide context around who is speaking, and why a topic is being explored
opportunities for participants to ask questions in advance, anonymously, and the option to decline responding to questions
opportunities for participants to connect with one another
