As we’ve considered in previous sections, anti-racism involves both raising consciousness and taking action on an individual and organisational level.
Here, you have the opportunity to start identifying your priorities for this work. As the following exercises will show, you can think about your priorities in terms of:
- Where you are currently
- What you need to move this work forward
- Where you have power to create change
We will consider these priorities in terms of where you can take action as an individual and where you can influence at an organisational level. We recognise learners will be from a range of roles, with different levels of power, privilege, agency and seniority within museums. The following exercises will provide the chance to consider how you can commit to change, whatever your context.
As you work through the exercises, remember that your priorities are likely to change over time. This work is for the long term. The exercises offer a first step in identifying your priorities now.
