In 2020, a global pandemic and a reckoning with racial inequity reminded us of the simple importance of listening.
That’s why Local Projects is launching a content series exploring the role of listening in cultural work, especially in this time of collective crisis.
Listen in.

What new solutions and ideas will move cultural institutions towards a more inclusive future? To give some guidance on how cultural institutions should navigate these crucial questions, we invited leaders from the Museum of the City of New York, the Museum of Science and Industry, and LaPlaca Cohen to join us in conversation. Check out key takeaways and the recorded panel session.
Welcome to Listeners, where we’ll share the many ways in which the art of listening has made us into better experience and exhibit designers. Let’s kick things off with a look at how we tap into visitors' emotions: by using immersive visual design and digital media to activate visitors’ five senses, and by bringing them face-to-face with historic and contemporary figures.
