N2 - Museums have longstanding issues with reproducing colonial narratives of marginalized communities and/or erasing their perspectives altogether. In response, visitors of color may feel that museums are “not for them.” Our team developed a multilingual after-school program aimed at increasing representation of Latina/x youth in museums through co-creation of an art exhibit. We used thematic analysis to examine visitors' written responses to the exhibit and identify how the exhibit allowed the artists to demonstrate presence.
