ICYMI on KPBS Midday Edition: The Museum of Man became the Museum of Us in 2020. Now it is reimagining one of its core exhibits, 'Race: Are We So Different?'
The goal is to shape the new exhibit through the perspectives of local communities. So the museum is inviting the public to share their thoughts on the current exhibit and to even be paid for their time.The museum has been contemplating changes in a variety of areas for decades but the pandemic prompted some clear action.
Community input helped the museum select a new name. Now it wants the public to help reimagining a 2015 exhibit on race."The original exhibit was developed by the American Anthropological Association and the Science Museum of Minnesota, and that original exhibit is telling a comprehensive story about race and how are we different," said Exhibit Developer Melinda Barnadas.
"We have not abandoned scholars and experts or the content that's coming from the current exhibit but we are challenging and continuing to challenge the notion of who the expert is," Barnadas said."We want to include lived experiences and support them with the ideas from scholars, from artists and experts who allow us to see and think about our shared experiences in different ways.
"It's important to extend and engage that conversation in ways that continue to serve to be inclusive, intersectional, and reflective of what people are actually experiencing and understanding about how race affects their lives and those around them," Barnadas said.Living in San Diego, residents may take museums for granted and forget how they started or realize how they are changing.
