Join the BCMA for Book Club!

BCMA Book Club is changing, bringing you a Decolonizing the Museum Community Chat. Lorenda and Leia will be available on the last Tuesday of each month, from 10:00 – 11:00 AM, to discuss what your organizations are working on or struggling with. We want to get into action with you! We ask that attendees come ready to share their work or struggles so we can discuss, brainstorm ideas and resources, or help find a path of action together.

BCMA Book Club: Decolonizing the Museum Community Chat will run May 27, June 24, July 29, August 26 and September 30. 

In past sessions, the BCMA Book Club has read;
