With our 2020 Conference just two weeks away, the Alberta Museums Association (AMA) is excited to share our keynote interview with Andy Lowe, CEO of Te Manawa Museum of Art, Science and Heritage in Aotearoa (New Zealand).

Opening the Petals of the Museum without Boundaries
Andy sat down virtually with the AMA's Meaghan Patterson for a conversation about 'Museums without Boundaries' and discussed the big ideas transforming and guiding the work around cultural sustainability at Te Manawa.

About the Keynote Presentation
Inclusion and accessibility are buzzwords for museums. Who do we really mean? How can we matter more to more people? Sharing from his own background and journey, Andy will explore how museums can have fun with activism and community takeover.
