The purpose of the clinic is to provide the GLAM institutions a possibility to present projects and productions related to openness and participation in the museum context, and obtain feedback and suggestions from participants and facilitators of the workshop. This interactive session discusses the opportunities and challenges that art and memory institutions face when opening their work practices, processes and collections for wider public. Furthermore, through case examples and experiences we address various strategies and drivers for openness, and demonstrate how art and memory institutions can be more open and accessible for wider public.
Participants can exchange good practices and tools for the development of their cases. They will map their initiatives in relation to other projects that dealt with similar themes, in this way understanding how their proposals contribute to the current discussion on openness in the sector. This clinic set the stage for institutions to present future cases or concepts for discussion and peer assessment.
Participants: The clinic is open for all, but specially targeted to representatives from the art and memory institutions. Participants are encouraged to send a short description of their ongoing or future project. The registration form can be found here Please notice that the cases will be reviewed and selected by the facilitators and the clinic will take place only if there are at least 5 selected cases.
The clinic is hosted by Mariana Salgado. For further information, please contact Mariana Salgado, mariana.salgado@aalto.fi
