Last night I spoke to one of the educational directors at the Studio Museum about a field trip my class took that I was very disappointed with. She started the conversation by thanking me for sharing my feedback. Specifically, she said that her team has needed to address issues with the educator who gave our tour before and my email provided them with specific information that they could discuss with her.
When I wrote the email, I worried about paraphrasing the educator or seeming too forward. Speaking to the educational director, I realized that the Studio Museum can't fix problems that they don't know about. Both the director and I have the same goal: to educate children about art from artists of African descent. We could work together on that goal.
In June we will return to the museum for a second tour. I will be able to speak to our guide beforehand so that they know about what we have learned and what we are interested in learning. I'm excited to share with you!
