In my initial week at the SDHC, I have gained insights into diverse cultures, worked on site projects , and familiarized myself with museum operations.
On Monday, I toured the museum and learned new things about San Diego that I previously lacked awareness of. I also had the opportunity to visit and get a tour in the San Diego Chinese historical museum. I was able to broadened my understanding of San Diego's cultural background, which goes beyond the division between Americans and Mexicans, and it highlights the distinct heritages that have shaped the city and their efforts to claim a sense of belonging such as the Chinese community.
On Tuesday, I went to the Comic Com museum and I got to learn about the history of art through the entertainment industry such as cartoons and how they have developed through time. I also had the opportunity to visit the Air & Space museum which I was able to see how aircrafts and spaceships will look like in the future.
On Wednesday, I got send to the Museum of Us in order to get ideas of what are they doing to attract more audience, every little detail I took note of it and later on had a meeting to discuss ideas to improve the SDHC and how they can expand their demographics.
I spent Thursday working on the Chicano exhibition by the SDHC, which lacks an appealing historical context for children and does not offer Spanish translations. I dedicated my time on making sure the translation would be more appealing and better to understand. Additionally, I was assigned a project to honor the Hispanic Heritage month and I worked the rest of the afternoon on that.
