Our first international traveling exhibition, "In Slavery's Wake: Making Black Freedom in the World," is now open! "In Slavery's Wake" reckons with the impact of slavery and colonialism on present-day societies around the world and explores the often-overlooked efforts of the enslaved to force the end of slavery with legal emancipation and abolition. It provides a wellspring for descendants to draw upon to help create a better world for themselves and their communities through art, storytelling, music, protest, and communal healing. You can view it on the concourse level of our museum's Bank of America Special Exhibitions Gallery until June 8, 2025. The exhibition will travel internationally thereafter. #InSlaverysWake Get passes to explore today: https://s.si.edu/3VHimJo 📸 Mignonette Dooley Johnson/NMAAHC

This past weekend the Museum of Discovery in Little Rock, Arkansas opened two new exhibits: Curiosity Spot & Small Fry Fish Camp! Designed by Hands On! Studio to introduce STEAM education to young learners through self-led play, we had so much fun prototyping, building, and testing these interactives and spaces.

One of the biggest highlights at IAAPA 2024 last week was the turnout and support of women in the industry. From the casual chats about championing our efforts, to the Women of the Industry night and Women in the Industry lunch led by Heather Barnes, so many great conversations were shared and new friendships formed with some badass women! Here’s to our future advancing change and making the world a better place.

This year's IAAPA was a hub of groundbreaking ideas, behind the scenes tours, and an amazing opportunity to reconnect with clients, partners, and friends. It continues to be one of our favorite shows every year, and we look forward to see you all next year!

Where to begin…? Despite my aching legs and tired eyes from staying in motion for days on end at the IAAPA Expo, I’m energized. We (Ravenswood Studio, Inc. team) had the opportunity to attend several FUN events and industry gatherings. I’m grateful to have connected with so many amazing creators, producers, fabricators, and promoters. (Some of you repping in the pics here + I’ve got lots of photos and more posts to come!) Excited to continue the great work we all do in various spokes of the arts, culture, and entertainment industries.✨ Many thanks to the IAAPA committees and event hosts Electrosonic, THG Creative, TAIT, Nassal, Themed Entertainment Association, Float4, SNA Displays, Pixera, et al.
