Abstract
The museum field has been coming to terms with its own history and questioning its relevance in today's world. The inadequacy of public programming in relationship building and public welfare is a contributing factor to the lack of attendance of diverse communities. Through the incorporation of gender and decolonial studies, museum practice can shift its focus to public service through a feminist approach to public programming. To question the existing production and address the gap in practical public programming guidelines, I propose a slow-paced programming design plan and a visual representation of the existing and possible models of public programming. The guidelines and the visual representations are the result of a series of interviews with cultural professionals. The findings indicate that through a slow-paced scope, in the short-term, public programmers can establish genuine bonds with their communities of reference and advocate to leadership and funders for the integration of qualitative data to quantitative data in evaluation and reporting.
