Quotes
I really care about creating experiences in museums that facilitate social bridging - people connecting with other people who aren't like them. I want to create safe environments where people can grapple with their own perspectives, celebrate their communities, and learn more about one another and the things we all cherish. - Michelle DelCarlo, [|Reflection On A Year of Pop-Ups]
