EQUITY-CENTERED COMMUNITY DESIGN FIELD GUIDE
The Equity-Centered Community Design (ECCD) Field Guide is a framework that helps people work together to solve problems with a focus on equity, community, and healing. It provides tools to address power imbalances, include diverse voices, and create lasting change. The guide encourages everyone to see themselves as capable of designing more just and inclusive communities.
MAKING THE MUSEUM
In the "Community Engagement Misconceptions" episode of the Making the Museum podcast, Nu Goteh, founder of ROOM FOR MAGIC and co-founder of Deem Journal, discusses common misunderstandings in museum community engagement. She emphasizes the importance of moving at the community's pace, clarifies that charrettes are tools rather than strategies, and highlights that engagement efforts require substantial investment. The conversation also touches on the complexities of defining "community" and the need for authentic partnerships to foster meaningful connections. Goteh advocates for design as a means to bridge cultural gaps and promote social regeneration
