A Frame of Mind takes a hard look at race in America through the lens of one art museum. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art sits at a crossroads: in the middle of Kansas City, in the middle of the country, and in the middle of America’s shifting cultural landscape. We’re working through the slow and sometimes messy change of a big museum asking what it can be and whose stories it tells. Along the way... more

This is our last episode, but it’s not the end of the story. We go back a few years to when the Nelson-Atkins started to make some moves to celebrate Juneteenth, and why the museum needed to take a breath and listen. We stumble across a performance o... more
We don’t know the names of the people whose hands and skill literally built the 1933 Nelson-Atkins building, but we know what some of them look like. This episode begins with a photograph from the museum’s archive and dreams about stories that haven’... more
The original Nelson-Atkins building has 23 panels carved on the outside, high up and kind of hard to see—really see. They tell a story of settler colonialism in the Midwest, filled with harmful stereotypes of Indigenous people. The story is fiction, ... more
Why do Kansas City and the Nelson-Atkins look the way they do? In this episode, we rewind to the beginning of the 1900s. Kansas City was booming from a Cow Town to the Paris of the Plains, and a few city planners and real estate developers saw opport... more

Thank you so very much for this. Each episode had several pieces that sunk into my psyche. Your poetry, beautiful and powerful. And, I left with a sliver of, dare I say it, hope.
I’m from Minnesota and hope to visit Kansas City and the museum in the future.
Not only is it an enjoyable listen, but I hope it is something other museums and institutions listen to and think of using as another way to explore their own roles in their own communities. I’m impressed by how the Nelson-Atkins has begun this with vulnerability, thoughtfulness, and, of course, beauty. I hope other museums follow suit.
I loved all episodes of this podcast. I grew up on the east side of Troost and I know about the racial dividing line. I no longer live in KCMO, and when I come back to visit, it saddens me to see such a great city still so divided. This is a MUST listen.
This is the first episode for me, but I look forward to hearing the others. I’ve been a Nelson-Atkins volunteer for the past seven years and have been aware of Glenn North’s contributions to the cultural life of Kansas City. How great that he is doing this podcast!
I love this podcast! Well written and so well delivered. It helped me see the Nelson - and the city around it - in a completely new dimension. Content is relevant to people who live in KC, people who don’t … anyone who looks around their city and feels connected to a historic building, and anyone who doesn’t … anyone who loves museums, and anyone who doesn’t … anyone who wants to better understand the experience of all people in the community, and (most importantly) anyone who hasn’t thought abo... more
