Narratives and Changing Practices. The collaboratively authored toolkit shares reflections, strategies, and approaches to exhibition development with communities and highlights lessons learned by TMA from various projects from a four-year timeframe (2019 –
2023), as part of the museum’s Institute of Museum and Library Services National Leadership Grant. The tools and materials support practitioners—in museums and beyond—in framing their approaches to expanding curatorial practices and developing meaningful relationships
with communities—both in exhibition development and supporting future arts / museum professionals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
