Description

How do you present emotionally challenging content to your audience in a way that they might connect with, rather than be overwhelmed? I interview Kelley Szany at Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center about strategies and tactics they use to help visitors connect with holocaust and genocide content. We discuss the art of storytelling, the concept of rescuing the individual, floor guide tactics to help visitors move from emotional to cognitive responses, and more.  Kelley Szany LinkedIn page IHMEC LI page    Links to books discussed in episode  All But My Life, by Gerda Weissmann Klein Interpreting Difficult History at Museums and Historic Sites, by Julia Rose   Links to other resources discussed in episode Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center, Skokie United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, DC East City Films - VR firm, London   Connect with us: Have questions or topics you’d like us to explore on the podcast?

Dig In UX presents MuseumX, where we host conversations at the intersection of experience design and social change to be a resource for heart-centered designers who are called to create experiences that heal our world. You will hear from professionals inside and outside the museum and cultural sectors whose expertise can inform questions like, How might we design for compassion? Or, Create digital experience accessible for all? Or, how might we create teams primed to foster a sense of belonging for diverse groups? Together, we’ll tackle tough questions, explore complex topics and identify action steps to help us create experiences for the public good - experiences that help, heal, enrich and empower, and connect.
