In this case study, I examine the extraordinary work of contemporary artist Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson and the intersection of my experience as an educator serving as a co-curator for Symphonic Poem, a major retrospective exhibition of her work in 2003. The case study is a vehicle to examine the role of museum educators in developing and presenting exhibitions that empower visitors to discover their own meaning in Aminah's complex and layered work. In presenting the case study of the exhibition, I probe the rich artistic vocabulary of the artist and scrutinize response to it through a survey which 100 visitors completed as well as through poetry written by adults and by children in the exhibition. I examine these responses in light of the desired goals and outcomes my co-curator and I had established for the exhibition.

520 $a In this case study, I examine the extraordinary work of contemporary artist Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson and the intersection of my experience as an educator serving as a co-curator for Symphonic Poem, a major retrospective exhibition of her work in 2003. The case study is a vehicle to examine the role of museum educators in developing and presenting exhibitions that empower visitors to discover their own meaning in Aminah's complex and layered work. In presenting the case study of the exhibition, I probe the rich artistic vocabulary of the artist and scrutinize response to it through a survey which 100 visitors completed as well as through poetry written by adults and by children in the exhibition. I examine these responses in light of the desired goals and outcomes my co-curator and I had established for the exhibition.
520 $a My examination of the case and my research related to it highlight the challenges and opportunities that face museum educators and all museum workers in an era when museums are examining their relevancy as they compete with all types of cultural and commercial events and venues for people's time and attention. This collaboration between a curator of contemporary art and an educator provides an alternative approach to traditional museum practices and organizational structures and raises important questions concerning the training and practice of museum professionals.
520 $a In addition to examining the role of museum educators in exhibitions, I present strategies to encourage K-12 students and visitors of all ages to critically confront issues of identity, race, and oppression that hover just below the rich patterns and button-encrusted surface of Aminah's work. In the world she has created, being black is the norm, but everyone is invited to participate by sharing their memories, stories, and dreams. Art like that of Aminah Robinson helps to fill in the gaps that the modern museum created in regard to marginalizing and ignoring the voices of women and minorities. Educators in the post-museum can become border-crossers themselves in creating exhibitions, linking them with a broad range of communities, and encouraging visitors to become border-crossers as well.
