About the
Event

Processes of opening up on all levels—in terms of staff, programmes, and audiences—are currently a key agenda item of those museums wishing to redefine their mission and relevance in the context of heterogeneous societies. In view of the demographic realities, new structural approaches and strategies to curatorial and educational work are to be discussed as part of Prospects for Openness. In the workshop, we will explore what avenues and possibilities are available to museums for overcoming social exclusion and discrimination. Who needs to be on board and what knowledge is required to open up museums? What topics and formats make it possible to involve a more diverse audience, one that reflects society? What methodical and theoretical approaches can we use? How can we initiate processes of institutional transformation? The workshop is designed to delve deep into the different aspects of diversity and the critique of discrimination and to reveal opportunities for action on the basis of practical examples. The aim is to enable participants to take a critical look at their own institutions and projects in terms of diversity and to further develop and evolve approaches for their own practice.
