Worker-owned co-ops and participatory governance frameworks are proving successful across industries to elevate greater community involvement, equity, accountability, and collaboration – could museums be a fertile field for this evolution? Leaders from museum governance, curatorial, and an employee-owned business will discuss challenges, successes, and potentials for integrating cooperative models into the museum field. The session concludes with a dynamic Q&A discussion, inviting attendees to explore how they might apply cooperative principles in their own institutions.
