Becoming a Museum Ally with Deana Dartt
Museums are part of the problem. And as a museologist, we are inside a critical moment for museums, cultural institutions, and the stories they choose to tell.
Something is emerging: a deeper call for accountability, collaboration, and allyship
In this episode, Deana Dartt, PhD, shares what she's witnessing across institutions because of Executive Order 14253— budget revoked, erased programs, and years of cultural work disappearing from schedules. Deana is Coastal Band Chumash and Mestiza, Founder of Live Oak Consulting, and a leading voice in museum decolonization. Her approach is clear — less about fighting, more about building.
In an exclusive preview shared with Jodie Nelson on Female Frequency, Deana offers an early look at her new work — healing modalities designed to support museums, educators, and communities in engaging belonging and empathy, grief (climate grief, extinction grief, genocide grief), structural colonial history, and restorative cultural practices.
As a curator and scholar, Deana walks us through the Reclaiming El Camino Real exhibition at the Autry Museum in Los Angeles, CA — and the sacred ritual of welcoming home the Sumalilu (Padre Hat) from the British Museum, including the Chumash community singing ceremony as it came home.
