To Dos & Priorities–Apr 27-May 1st

General feedback
Let’s remember our title “Tobacco Made: Richmond’s Unfiltered History” – this is the story we’re telling and our language and image choices need to reflect this.

We need to tighten the language and shorten text where ever possible.

Stay in close communication with each other this week

It’s Panel Week!

Hi everyone!

I know that all of teams are launched for their collective work.  We’ll meet as a big group this Friday at 1:30-2:15 pm (zoom link via separate).
Beyond small groups, the most pressing work for us this week is our individual panel labels. These are the 125-word max labels that will go on the walls in the URD exhibition, scheduled to open in September.  Here are the steps:
1. Place your current draft text into our new, collective google doc (by end of Monday)
2.  Check this link EVERDAY this week in pm/evening for edits or suggestions from Alexandra, me, and Communications team.  Accept suggestions, rewrite, and or add comments/replies.
3. Keep checking until Alexandra or I mark your label “COMPLETED”
I’ll add thumbnails of images & objects to each label. These are the finalized ones.  We have individual labels/objects completed for URD exhibition. We won’t be adding more.
Let me know if you have an questions.
