What does ‘unity’ mean to your organization? How does museum leadership work to create a respectful environment where people with differing world views can not only work together, but thrive because of it? Can design serve as a change agent to create safe and respectful places for this dialogue to occur? “Re-Unite: How Museums can Bridge our Cultural Divide” will explore how museums can play a role in bringing people together to find common ground and begin to reunite our communities.

Mithun’s Michael Fiegenschuh will moderate this provocative panel discussion featuring Kippen de Alba Chu, Executive Director, Iolani Palace; W. James Burns, Executive Director, University of Arizona Museum of Art; Lorie Millward, Curator of Curiosity, Thanksgiving Point Institute and Micah Parzen, CEO, San Diego Museum of Man.
