 Hilton Baton Rouge Capital Center, Baton Rouge, LA Hosted by the River Road African American Museum, Donaldsonville, LA 2009 CALL FOR PROPOSALS A CALL TO HOME: REIMAGINING OUR INSTITUTIONS If, in moving through your life, you find yourself lost, go back to the last place where you knew who you were, and what you were doing, and start again from there. -Bernice Johnson Reagon The 2009 AAAM Annual Conference invites participants to challenge the conventions in current African American museum practice - to revisit our thinking about how we get the work done in our institutions. A Call to Home: Reimagining Our Institutions extends a special invitation to small cultural institutions in small communities. A special conference focus will address the strategic importance of creating effective partnerships, attracting visitation and promotion when you are off the beaten path, and creating unique interpretive experiences for small staff and all-volunteer institutions. The heritage preservation and creative tourism fields will have a dynamic presence in preconference workshops, conference sessions and related programs. A Call to Home: Reimagining Our Institutions continues the AAAM legacy of accomplishing this in an accessible, warm and dynamic professional environment. Our beautiful host city of Baton Rouge, with its wealth of cultural resources, is surrounded by a spectrum of historic African American landscapes – from cities and small towns to rural sites and open air places of memory. We invite you to explore the linking of our diverse communities. Click here to download the 2009 Call for Proposals form. Please note that the deadline for submission has been extended to January 30, 2009! |
