Presented by Kevin Cullen, Deputy Director, Neville Public Museum of Brown County, Wisconsin

Estamos Aquí: Celebrating Latino Identity in Northeast Wisconsin was recently awarded the 2018 Curators Choice Award from the Wisconsin Historical Society. The exhibit celebrated the personal stories and diverse traditions of local Latino residents that have endured emigration from across Latin America. This 3,200 ft² bilingual exhibit was the culmination of over two-years of planning with collegiate, community, and museum stakeholders. This webinar will discuss the planning process, content gathering methodologies, exhibit components, installation plan, associated programming, as well as visitor observations and feedback.
