ABSTRACT
[ Empathy arises between individuals. Solidarity arises between groups. Over time, that solidarity can develop into a bond of community. My book ends with support for museum professionals as they rupture categories that keep us from helping one another and retain those that band us together. In this chapter, I discuss three ways to share authority: with visitors, with members of specific communities, and with both. This last can be an important way to bring people together to work for a cause. Finally, the chapter connects the topic of sharing authority to the methodology of curatorial work for social justice.]
