International Coalition of Sites of Conscience

The International Coalition of Sites of Conscience will work with 10 partner museums to create a suite of tools to help museums systematically identify and develop a comprehensive understanding of the absences in representation in their operations and in their collections and programs. The project team will develop frameworks to assess collections, programming, and employment and operations policies, as well as community partnerships. With the support of a mentor, each museum will strengthen relationships with community partners by developing and implementing plans to address missing narratives in their institutions. Each museum will produce a public program or exhibit about their work. Project outputs will include a report, a series of webinars, a toolkit, and articles in peer-reviewed journals. The project will provide museum professionals with skills to proactively expand the stories their museums tell through new programming and exhibitions.
