We intimately understand the need to care for our cultural heritage in the larger work for justice.
Your Neighborhood Museum is a collective of heritage preservation specialists with decades of cumulative experience in social justice organizing and cultural heritage care.
We utilize a mutual aid framework to support the heritage preservation goals of communities of color. We center community expertise and provide support for community led projects.
We are a new organization developing bold programs that address community needs in a variety of critical and connected areas.
Land Acknowledgement
The staff at Your Neighborhood Museum live and work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Gabrieliño/Tongva people. We acknowledge the Gabrieliño/Tongva people as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (TOE-von-gar, the Los Angeles Basin and Southern Channel Islands), and we pay our respects to the Ancestors, Elders, and our relatives/relations past, present, and emerging.
Your Neighborhood Museum is also a community of colleagues who live and work on Native lands throughout the country. As an organization we recognize and appreciate the invaluable contributions of Native peoples who have built the foundations upon which we stand, and who continue to lead powerful and meaningful progress in the arts and culture field and in countless other intersecting areas. We commit to uplifting the leadership, needs, and interests of Native peoples and believe that we all benefit by doing so.
