Disrupting Art Museum Experiences: Interventions in a University Art Museum
In this paper, graduate students in an art education course and their instructor share a project created in response to an exhibition focused on themes of food in their university art museum. Students worked in groups to create interventions designed to offer alternative ways to engage with works of art through experimentation, sensory experiences, participatory practices, and humor. These interventions expand the ways visitors can approach works of art and give openings for participants to include their own voices in the exhibition. They also illustrate the potential for university art museums serve as laboratories on campus that challenge traditional authoritative museum practices and question whose voices are included in museum exhibitions

Drum corps is a North American youth performing arts practice in which musicians and dancers perform themed marching band shows throughout the United States and are judged competitively against one another. The data used in this project comes from four weeks of ethnographic fieldwork with the Blue Knights drum corps during the summer of 2022. Personal accounts from the corps’ members and staff, fieldwork photographs, and the author’s observations are analyzed in this project to explore performers’ experiences with gender in drum corps
