IBPOC Network Feedback Survey

IBPOC Network sessions are regarded as safe spaces for all those who identify as IBPOC museum, heritage, and cultural professionals in what is colonially referred to as British Columbia. As such, the BCMA would like to learn additional ways the IBPOC Network can support these professionals.

Your responses will remain anonymous. Individuals can submit feedback more than once.

Community-centred Approaches to Museum Exhibits and Programs

The IBPOC Museum Professionals Network was joined by culture executive, Karen Carter for an informative webinar on community-centred approaches to museum exhibits and programs. Participants learnt how to become a co-conspirator for DEIA, build relationships not just partnerships, and what a call-and-response communications model is.
Watch the webinar.

Programming for the network is guided by our IBPOC Museum Professionals Advisory Group. If you have any questions about the IBPOC Network or would like to share suggestions, please get in touch with Koy Tayler at outreach@museum.bc.ca.
Why the name IBPOC (Indigenous, Black, and People of Colour)?
Originally launched under the name BIPOC Network, Indigenous BCMA members reached out and suggested using the term IBPOC to recognize that the discussions and activities facilitated through this network are taking place on the ceded, unceded, and sovereign territories of Indigenous communities across what is now referred to as British Columbia. The BCMA recognizes that we are uninvited guests on these territories and wish to centre this network around respect and reconciliation.

We recognize that grouping such distinct identities together suggests an interchangeability that fails to articulate the differential ways that racialized people experience race and racism and will continue to evolve and update our language in consultation with the community.

#MuseumsAreNotNeutral: White Supremacy in Museums and Calls to Immediate Action

This Network was inspired by the #MuseumsAreNotNeutral Webinar in June 2020.
Watch the webinar.

This Network is supported by the Royal Bank of Canada, The Deux Mille Foundation, and the Province of British Columbia.
