January 2025 Update on BCMA's Commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
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.
