Evan Weissman, Warm Cookies of the Revolution "The Public Imagination: A Closing Ritual for Cultural Heritage Workers" As stewards of memory and imagination, cultural heritage workers play a vital role in shaping how communities remember, resist, and rebuild. In this participatory closing plenary, Warm Cookies of the Revolution, a Denver-based civic arts organization, invites attendees to engage in an interactive ritual honoring the people, places, and ideals that sustain our work. Through creative reflection, storytelling, and a communal “commitment postcard” activity, participants will consider what from this year’s Forum they want to carry forward, what future librarians and technologists should know about the world we’re saving, and how collective rituals of hope can nurture our shared purpose.
