Three scheduled online sessions. Wed Jun 10, 17 & 24 from 3pm-5pm PDT

This online workshop focuses on questions around UNESCO's recognition of Intangible Cultural Heritage; its identification, protection and sustainability; the role of the associated community; and, the connection of intangible heritage to tangible heritage - place and object. Participants will identify issues and critique intangible heritage practices from around the world. Live, real-time sessions combine theoretical discussion with practical examples.

Examine how curators and content creators are connecting with today's visitors using socially engaged art practices and innovative programming. Amid shifts in education, marketing and visitor services, understand how museums are adopting new practices and programs to engage audiences as they reconsider their roles in the community and the roles of their visitors.

INSTRUCTOR: Allison Agsten is Curator of Public Engagement and Director of Visitor Services at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, USA. In this role, she collaborates with artists to develop a new paradigm for the museum experience. Formerly, Allison was Director of Communications at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
