Episode 24: Rights at the Museum with Dina Bailey
Museums and exhibitions are special venues for learning. Museums can use techniques and tools that create immersive, sensory experiences, evoking human emotions and thoughts unlike any other forms of communication. This way museums can effectively promote positive change through learning. Maybe there is something legal designers could learn from museums and their curators? Our guest in this episode is Dina Bailey, the CEO of her own consulting company Mountain Top Vision. Dina has a long working history from creating museum experiences especially related to civil and human rights. She has worked as the inaugural Director of Museum Experiences at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta, and as the Director of Museum Experiences at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati. Dina tells us how human rights exhibitions differ from other kinds of museum experiences, and we discuss what role museums play in making society a better place. Nina also shares her own experiences from a visit to the Civil and Human Rights Center in Atlanta.
