STEAMuseum is a cultural space created by and for a new generation of digital learners. It features digital exhibits created by high school students from different countries working together virtually. It’s more than an exhibit space, however; it’s also a tool: for connecting youth, forming relationships, collaborating on a project, and imagining new ways of communicating, learning and problem-solving in a global world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baaba2534c4e244a34ef286/1538084730795-QCIUSEFK5UU5KNUY513J/Joliet2.png naturalia, inc NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION - exhibit As part of a broad effort to revitalize Joliet by repurposing its infamous, now shuttered, prison, I helped develop the exhibit From Prison to Vision which was designed in part to solicit artifacts and ideas from the community about the preservation and future use of this historic site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baaba2534c4e244a34ef286/1538450108098-PG29R7G9FS1CU21NPRIO/NH1+edited.jpg naturalia, inc NigerHeritage, NIAMEY AND AGADEZ - museum making Working with paleontologist Paul Sereno and officials in Niger to plan two new museums for the country’s rich heritage, this project has been an important reminder of the essential roles that museums can play in civic life; our work is not about just preservation but also about creating educational, scientific, cultural and economic opportunities for Niger’s citizens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baaba2534c4e244a34ef286/1538485351497-402EPRTEU1K30CLVOMJR/Nature+Re%3AReviewed.png naturalia, inc NATURE RE/VIEWED: AN UNCOMMON FIELD GUIDE The title says it all; this digital “field guide” presents a collection of images from the greater Chicago area that show some of the many ways people understand and represent Land, Water and Sky. It was the capstone project of a seminar I taught for the Johns Hopkins museum studies graduate program.

It was a way of shifting away from traditional didactic messages to more affective approaches that better resonated with the Place in which visitors were immersed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baaba2534c4e244a34ef286/1539047859525-Y8EFTG226VDDAT0NLUZ9/UTH.png naturalia, inc U THANT HOUSE, YANGON - exhibit In 2014, the home of former United Nations Secretary-General U Thant—a peacemaker and visionary who famously mediated an end to the Cuban missile crisis—was rescued from neglect by the Yangon Heritage Trust.

It was my job to hunt down city creatures in all their manifestations—murals, banners, sculpture, collage—for a book and subsequent exhibit exploring animals in urban settings. I blog about it here: https://www.humansandnature.org/walk-wild-side-urban-safari https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baaba2534c4e244a34ef286/1538448136298-MWGMEHTRUHEV0JCT1EMO/Race13.jpg naturalia, inc ALESCO PARK, CASABLANCA - public programing My work at Garfield Park Conservatory led to a fortuitous invitation: to spend three months in Casablanca, Morocco working with community residents and politicians to develop a program plan for a major public park located in one of the city’s most impoverished neighborhoods. We kicked off the plan with a day of games, activities, races and music, capped by a girls boxing match under a full moon—truly a first in this community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baaba2534c4e244a34ef286/1538447994854-6LBRYPWIN699R2FFH8II/PlanComm3-4.jpg naturalia, inc MOROCCO - people to people diplomacy That’s the core of Sister Cities’ mission and the basis for dozens of projects between Chicago and Casablanca which have an uncommonly strong sisterly bond. As a member and later co-chair of the committee, I’ve had the good fortune to work with teachers, artists, doctors, organizers, scientists, activists, social workers, and extraordinary youth on joint projects that benefit our respective cities and citizens. https://www.lisacroberts.com/science-studio daily 0.75 2018-11-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baaba2534c4e244a34ef286/1538101959206-JTBT6T5OONYEUH21C9QP/Library2.jpg the science studio THE LIBRARY My interest in science and nature includes an interest in how they have been depicted: what images, what classifications, their claims, debates and ethics. My library includes textbooks, field guides, natural histories, and encyclopedias. Books that depict science as the deeply creative endeavor that it is. It also includes books on that great patron of science that is the museum: histories, philosophies, architecture and design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baaba2534c4e244a34ef286/1541011616405-XVIE8KY5BXHH6B0FMMQQ/Physika+open+book+2.jpg the science studio BOOK ART Being an academic at heart, I was always drawn to books as an art form—making them, manipulating them, exploring different ways they can convey content. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baaba2534c4e244a34ef286/1538485465706-849NPDYEYX9KLEVJDD8P/Curiosities3.jpg the science studio COLLECTIONS OF CURIOSITIES It’s not enough to collect curiosities; they need to be staged. By creating new contexts and making unusual juxtapositions, they can convey any number of meanings and messages. I’m especially interested in exploring how the stuff of nature and science can be arranged to show how cool and weird and wonder-full they are, in contrast to the dry, didactic depictions that so many people encounter in science class. https://www.lisacroberts.com/home daily 1.0 2018-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baaba2534c4e244a34ef286/1541125515182-DUSLPQ42DSDZJ280898P/mom-60reg.jpg home https://www.lisacroberts.com/about daily 0.75 2022-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5baaba2534c4e244a34ef286/1541011237524-IK7F5LYOH4V9NU3CY5U4/Brazil+15+-+016.jpg about me https://www.lisacroberts.com/get-in-touch-2 daily 0.75 2018-10-31
