This article considers who has access to cultural resources during the pandemic, and how isolation from resources due to insufficient technology can impact art museum audiences. The authors consider the benefits and consequences of digital programming during the pandemic through the framework of a museum ecosystem, and how museums can circumnavigate the digital divide. This article also addresses the precarious position of art museum educators during the pandemic and their critical role in serving as bridges between museums and communities.
This project of performative writing and visual inquiry proposes the concept of “lichenizing” as a collaborative methodology for engaging with the lively pedagogy of the more-than-human. Looking to the multispecies mosaic of Lichen as teacher and ally, this arts-based, collectively produced foray considers transcorporeal, intermingled relationships as a pedagogical tool for fostering a radical, ecologically-centered curiosity for learning and making. To support our theorizing, we present two collaborative art projects where tenets of lichenizing were utilized to instruct process and form, and suggest further exploration and research on the practice of “lichenizing.”
