#MuseumWorkersSpeak, one of the results of the rouge session on museum activism at AAM’s Atlanta conference this year, is meeting up in metro-Boston for the first time on Wednesday, June 24th, from 6:30 to 8:30. The group conversation and potluck is at 17 Tudor St, Cambridge, MA 02139

From the facebook event page:

“Join fellow museum professionals and non-profit workers for an action-oriented discussion about applying a social justice lens to labor practices at mission-driven institutions. We’ll be discussing privilege, power, racism, sexism, classism, fair wages, leadership, graduate programs, unpaid internships, and any issue that you raise at the meeting.

You may have heard of the Museum Workers Speak rogue session at the American Alliance of Museums conference in Atlanta or participated in the ongoing Twitter chats. So far there are has been a subsequent conversation in D.C. and another scheduled for the end of this month in Chicago to continue the conversation regionally. This will be the first MWS discussion held here in Boston.

We’ll be meeting at Wistia near Central Square. Street parking is free after 6pm. Feel free to bring snacks to share, potluck style.

See you there! Please direct questions to Margaret Middleton: margaret.k.middleton@gmail.com
