Looking to expand your understanding of how museums can tell more comprehensive stories and increase accessibility? Join us for “Discovering New Narratives,” a networking event that focuses on inclusive museum interpretations.
We’ll dive into discussions on how museums can better create complete narratives through highlighting diverse cultures, histories, and perspectives.
The event will include a presentation about both physical and programmatic accessibility at NYC Historic House Trust sites by HHT Deputy Director Giulietta Fiore.
You will have the opportunity to connect with museum and history professionals over local Dominican food from DFM favorite El Nuevo Caridad. Whether you’re a museum professional, a history buff, or just someone who believes in the power of inclusive storytelling, this event is a wonderful opportunity to connect and collaborate.
This event is hosted in collaboration by the Northern Slavery Collective, the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum, and the Historic House Trust of NYC.
