The BCMA has been writing regular JEDI updates for nearly five years and now feels like an appropriate time to reflect on why we do this. Our first equity statement was the BCMA Anti-Racism Statement: October 2020. The work that museums, galleries, and heritage organizations are doing in their communities has always been important, but right now it is more critical than ever.

The BCMA is providing this list as a resource to help connect project organizers to funding for action. The goal is to provide quarterly updates to alert you to funding deadlines that are rolling or occurring within three months time.

What is an ethical climate? Is your organization closed and defensive or open and reflective? What steps can leadership and management take to help create a healthy, ethical climate in the workplace?

In this episode, Jazmin and Madison are joined by Dr. Sharanjit Kaur Sandhra and Melvin Sedeora of Museum Liberation Force. We chat about how the grassroots group got started, what they hope to see happen with the South Asian Canadian Museum project, and how the community feedback process has impacted them so far.

SAGE stands for Sustainable Arts and Green Ecosystem. Led by MOV, and funded by the Canada Council for the Arts, this initiative focuses on climate action and circularity in the museum sector.
