The annual #ColorOurCollections week generally occurs on the first full week of February, when new coloring books are released on this website and shared throughout the week by the participating institutions on social media. The coloring books from 2020 and previous years remain accessible year-round for free download. Hammer Channel https://channel.hammer.ucla.edu/ Hammer Channel lets you watch, search, clip, and share videos from the Hammer Museum’s programs and exhibitions, from 2005 to the present. Introduction to Cultural Analytics & Python https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4411250 This website hosts the course materials for “Introduction to Cultural Analytics: Data, Computation & Culture,” an undergraduate course taught at Cornell in the spring of 2020. It also includes an online textbook designed for the class. PAST DUE: Report and Recommendations of the Los Angeles Mayor’s Office Civic Memory Working Group http://civicmemory.la/ The Los Angeles Mayor’s Office Civic Memory Working Group, convened for its first meeting by Mayor Eric Garcetti in November of 2019 in City Hall, consists of 40 historians, indigenous elders and scholars, architects, artists, curators, designers, and other civic and cultural leaders. Its main charge as it worked across 2020 and into 2021 was to produce a series of recommendations to help Los Angeles, so long in thrall to its reputation as a city of the future, engage more productively and honestly with its past—especially where that past is fraught or has been buried or whitewashed. The Working Group’s report, including a print volume and this website, was released on April 15, 2021, with 18 key recommendations complemented by subcommittee reports; essays and photo essays; and interviews and roundtable discussions on significant topics. Standing Together Against Hate https://smithsonianapa.org/stand/ In March 2021 the Smithsonian published a collection of virtual resources from its various museums and centers aimed at educating visitors about racism, xenophobia, and discrimination against Asian Americans in the wake of the killings in Atlanta. The #StopAsianHate webpage features links to online exhibits, museum artifacts, archives, art, interviews, films, and more from institutions including the National Museum of Asian Art, the American Art Museum, the National Air and Space Museum, and the National Museum of African American History & Culture. The offerings are “educational resources and direct learning opportunities that we hope can contribute to deconstructing systemic oppression and affirm the dignity of all people,” writes Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch in an introductory statement. Tilt West Journal https://www.tiltwest.org/publications/ https://journal.tiltwest.org/vol1/ https://journal.tiltwest.org/vol2/ Tilt West is a Denver-based nonprofit dedicated to stimulating inclusive community exchange about art, ideas, and culture. We believe critical discourse is vital to the health of an arts ecosystem. We are committed to supporting artists, writers, thinkers, and all cultural workers who make Colorado an interesting and inspiring place. For every issue of the Tilt West Journal, we commission a range of cultural practitioners to respond to a central topic. In addition to our publishing activities, Tilt West regularly hosts roundtable discussions across the Denver metro area and beyond.

It is intended to represent marginalized voices that exist in the Collections, and to reveal ways we can make them more inclusive still. Voices in Studio Glass History: Art and Craft, Maker and Place, and the Critical Writings and Photography of Paul Hollister https://exhibitions.bgc.bard.edu/studioglasshistory/ Voices in Studio Glass History: Art and Craft, Maker and Place, and the Critical Writings and Photography of Paul Hollister rethinks and reinterprets the history of postwar American studio glass. This project builds upon the work of critic and historian Paul Hollister, who published over eighty essays and reviews in the field. Concurrently, he recorded candid interviews with artists and photographed them at work. Both an exhibition and an archive, Voices in Studio Glass History unites these materials for the first time, including unseen images, recently transcribed interviews, and a fully annotated bibliography with linked and downloadable articles.
