I am working on my Masters Thesis, and am looking for information about
demonstrations carried out in museum exhibit spaces. Specifically, I refer
to "ethnic crafts" or "lifeways skills", especially carried out by members of
the ethnic group. These can be arts, such as basketweaving, or skills, such
as flint-knapping.
What sort of spaces have museums had to create to make these artists
comfortable? Can the public be kept back, via a barrier, without creating
the impression that the demonstrator is on display or in a cage? How are
special lighting needs met?
I will be pleased to hear any anecdotes or to receive advice.
Thanks
Beth Hansen
