This $559,824 Project Grant award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the Museums for America (CFDA 45.301) program will support The San Antonio Children's Museum, also known as The DoSeum, in creating a traveling version of its current exhibition "Uniquely Us: Understanding Race and Building Unity." The exhibition is designed for audiences ages 0-7 and will provide age-appropriate resources on race and racism. The project involves developing experiential and cross-disciplinary learning-through-play experiences informed by community conversations. Museum staff will receive training to facilitate the exhibition and create an exhibit guide for future host museums. The accompanying website will include ancillary resources such as books, articles, and information on local community partners for caregivers. The project aims to extend the museum's educational impact to multiple communities over the award period from September 2024 to August 2025.
