"By drawing on leading practice from across the globe, Inspiring Action explores how museums enable, mobilise and narrate social change. This must-read collection of essays has never been more timely." - Esme Ward, Head of Engagement, The Whitworth and Manchester Museum, University of Manchester
In this ground-breaking book, leading professionals contribute practical, theoretical, historical – and always inspiring – case studies on how museums and galleries are responding to today’s social challenges: supporting disadvantaged minorities, offenders, the unemployed and the elderly.
Inspiring Action shares pioneering museum experience from the UK, USA, Australia and Africa, exploring the theory and practice of building inclusion and participation into museum and gallery programmes. Case studies from institutions such as Tate Modern, Clark Art Institute and the V&A are included.
We guarantee you’ll find this book powerful, moving – and an inspiration to action.
