How are you navigating "Crosscurrents"?

In the same way that the turbulence caused by crosscurrents in a river have an impact on navigation, the changes taking place in our broader culture and society have ripple effects in the everyday work of museums.

During AMM 2025, let's engage in discussion and debate around the intersecting and sometimes conflicting viewpoints that are shaping our landscape, informing our practices, and influencing our policies (whether we like it or not). We will draw inspiration from the amazing cultural organizations in the Quad Cities, whose efforts to build bridges across a geographical and political divide have been a success, and unpack what it means for museums to be trusted spaces now and moving forward.

Bring your perspective and experience to the conversation as a presenter!

We welcome proposals for sessions, workshops, posters, and conversation stations that focus on navigating the “crosscurrents” that are shaping the landscape for every aspect of museum operations, programs, and community initiatives. (Proposals with connections to the theme are ideal but not required. All ideas are welcomed!)
