Listen "Bonus Episode: Extended Conversations from June"
Episode Synopsis
In this special bonus episode of Museums @ the Mic, the podcast of the Alberta Museums Association (AMA), we have two extended conversations that couldn’t fit in our last episode. First, learn about “Cree: The People’s Language,” a travelling exhibit from the Canadian Language Museum, with founder Dr. Elaine Gold. Next, hear from Rachel Yates, Curator of Pacific Cultures at the Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa. Rachel takes the AMA through Project IKA, a co-collecting project to document the effects of climate change in Tokelau, a series of coral atolls in the South Pacific.
These two projects represent innovative approaches to community and reconciliation through modern museum practices. As the AMA’s 2021 Conference Series explores our four pillars of Community, Inclusion, Reconciliation, and Innovation, these conversations expand our exploration of the trends and priorities shaping the future of our sector.
Learn about the Canadian Language Museum’s travelling exhibit, “Cree: The People’s Language,” including reading the display boards and viewing the Cree language map, here: https://www.languagemuseum.ca/exhibit/cree-peoples-language
Read the Project IKA background blog by Rachel Yates before listening to her conversation. The blog defines some Maori and Tokelauan terminology as well as co-collecting concepts.
