| Zusammenfassung: | In this chapter, I provide my reflections on designing Crossroads of Continents: Cultures of Siberia & Alaska, an exhibition that opened at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution in 1988. Crossroads addressed the cultural diversity, similarities, and contacts among eight ethnic groups living on the lands and islands surrounding the North Pacific: four from Siberia – Chukchi, Koryak, Even, and Peoples of the Amur River – and four from Alaska – Inuit, Aleut, Tlingit, and Northern Athabaskans. This massive travelling exhibition, created in the 1980s, combined collections from North American and Soviet museums. It was the first such collaborative museum effort as the icy distancing of the Cold War was beginning to thaw. As I reflect on my personal and professional experiences, I consider the emotional experience of the designer, as well as the challenges, processes, and practices involved in such a project. I highlight the labour and shared responsibilities and the material and intellectual trials involved in creating exhibitions, as well as the role of the design consultancy in museum practice. Though Crossroads closed over 30 years ago, perhaps this recounting will stimulate and inform future projects and their makers. |
