About the
Event
Addressing the topics of exclusion, hierarchies, and power in the museum also means talking about racism. It is true that for some years, besides exhibitions on this topic, there has been a growing number of debates on mechanisms of exclusion or the reproduction of discriminatory stereotypes in cultural institutions and how to avoid them. Very few of them, however, have dealt directly with museum and educational work. In workshops and a panel discussion, we would like to explore the past and the present of individual and institutional relations of power in the museum and examine the ways in which structural discriminations work within it. Together with experts we will test new concepts and alternative formats to reveal different courses of action and initiate changes. The event is aimed at employees of all museums and areas of work.
