Consider to what extent your museum already takes action to dismantle racism. Work through the following prompts to assess where your museum is at:
- What action is your museum taking? Consider the policies and statements that relate to this work. Create a list or mind-map to record your ideas.
- Review the actions you’ve compiled of your museum’s work. Now, rank your museum’s work on anti-racism, where 1=no action and 5=established action-plan.
Keep your notes from this activity for the next exercise, where we will explore ideas to create change.
