The Story
Fostering positive discussions
“Our Shared Future: Reckoning With Our Racial Past” is a year-long Smithsonian initiative to foster a positive discussion on understanding the issues of race and racism, launched in August 2021. DM.Experiential brought together a team of world-class creative and production talent, and together with Smithsonian’s curators to establish the message, created and brought to life a multi-tiered program. The Smithsonian, with DM.Experiential producing all initiative components, will help lead conversations about race and racism across the country, exploring all races in America and how Americans experience race through six main themes: Race and Wellness; Race and Wealth; Race and Place; Race, Policy and Ethics; Race Beyond the U.S.; and Race, Arts and Aesthetics. “Our Shared Future: Reckoning with Our Racial Past” will invite the public to join the conversation through website response prompts, opportunities for local engagements and downloadable resources that will empower anyone to host a program and engage in conversations in their own communities.
