The COVID-19 crisis has swept the whole world abruptly, affecting every aspect of our lives Some already pressing issues have been exacerbated, questioning the very structure of our societies: the call for equality is stronger than ever.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Museums are no exception to these changes, and the cultural sector is among the most affected, with serious economic, social and psychological repercussions in the short and long term alike. But this crisis also served as a catalyst for crucial innovations that were already underway, notably an increased focus on digitisation and the creation of new forms of cultural experience and dissemination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This is a pivotal moment for our society, and we call museums to embrace it and lead the change. The time is now to rethink our relationship with the communities we serve, to experiment with new and hybrid models of cultural fruition and to strongly reaffirm the essential value of museums for the construction of a just and sustainable future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We must advocate for the creative potential of culture as a driver for recovery and innovation in the post-COVID era!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"headline\">2020 &#8211; Museums for Equality: Diversity and Inclusion<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1304 \" src=\"http:\/\/imd.mini.icom.museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2020\/01\/IMD2020-affiche-OK_ENG-light-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"198\" height=\"297\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With the theme <strong>Museums for Equality: Diversity and Inclusion<\/strong>, International Museum Day 2020 aimed at becoming a rallying point to both celebrate the diversity of perspectives that make up the communities and personnel of museums, and champion tools for identifying and overcoming bias in what they display and the stories they tell.<\/p>\n<p>The potential of museums to create meaningful experiences for peoples of all origins and backgrounds is central to their social value. As agents of change and trusted institutions, there is no time like the present for museums to demonstrate their relevance by engaging constructively in the political, social, and cultural realities of modern society.<\/p>\n<p>The challenges of inclusion and diversity and the difficulty of navigating complex social issues in increasingly polarised environments, while not unique to museums and cultural institutions, are important ones, due the high regard in which museums are held by society.<\/p>\n<p>An increasing public expectation for social change has catalysed a conversation around museums\u2019 potential for social good in the form of exhibitions, conferences, performances, education programmes, and initiatives created. However, there remains much to do to overcome conscious and subconscious power dynamics that can create disparities within museums, and between museums and their visitors.<\/p>\n<h3>These disparities can relate to many topics, including ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and identity, socioeconomic background, education level, physical ability, political affiliation and religious beliefs.<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Following the COVID-19 outbreak and the subsequent lockdowns, we decided to adapt the format and focus on digital activities, to promote the values of IMD while ensuring the safety of the public and staff alike.

Museums keep reinventing themselves in their quest for becoming more interactive, audience focused, community oriented, flexible, adaptable and mobile. They have become <strong>cultural hubs functioning as platforms where creativity combines with knowledge and where visitors can <\/strong><strong>also co-create, share and interact<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>While preserving their primary missions \u2013 collecting, conservation, communication, research, exhibition \u2013 museums have transformed their practices to remain closer to the communities they serve. Today they look for innovative ways to tackle contemporary social issues and conflict. By acting locally, museums can also advocate and mitigate global problems, striving to meet the challenges of today\u2019s society proactively. As institutions at the heart of society, museums have the power to establish dialogue between cultures, to build bridges for a peaceful world and to define a sustainable future.<\/p>\n<p>As museums increasingly grow into their roles as cultural hubs, they are also finding new ways to honour their collections, their histories and their legacies, creating traditions that will have new meaning for future generations and relevance for an increasingly diverse contemporary audience at a global level. This transformation, which will have a profound impact on museum theory and practice, also forces us to rethink the value of museums and to question the ethical boundaries that define the very nature of our work as museum professionals.<\/p>\n<p>At once a focal point for the community and an integral part of a global network, museums offer a platform for translating local communities\u2019 needs and views into a global context.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"headline\">2018 &#8211; Hyperconnected museums: New approaches, new publics<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-610 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/imd.mini.icom.museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/01\/IMD2018-afficheanglais-200x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hyperconnectivity&#8221; is a term invented in 2001 to design the multiple means of communication we have today, such as face-to-face contact, email, instant messaging, telephone or the Internet. This global network of connections becomes each day more complex, diverse and integrated. In the hyperconnected world of today, museums join the trend. This is the reason why the International Council of Museums (ICOM) chose the theme <strong>\u201cHyperconnected museums:\u00a0<\/strong><strong>New approaches, new publics\u201d<\/strong> for the International Museum Day 2018.<\/p>\n<p>It is impossible to understand the role of museums without taking into account all the connections they make. They are an inherent part of their local communities, their cultural landscape and their natural environment. Thanks to technology, museums can now reach way beyond their core audience and find new publics when approaching their collections in a different way: it can be the digitalisation of their collections, adding multimedia elements to the exhibition or something as simple as a hashtag that allows visitors to share their experience in social media.<\/p>\n<p>However, not all these new connections are due to technology. As museums strive to maintain their relevance in society, they shift their attention to the local community and the diverse groups that make it up. As a result, these past years we have witnessed the birth of countless common projects organised by museums with the collaboration of minorities, indigenous peoples and local institutions. To engage these new publics and strengthen their connections with them, museums must find new ways of interpreting and presenting their collections.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"headline\">2017 &#8211; Museums and contested histories: saying the unspeakable in museums<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-622 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/imd.mini.icom.museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/01\/IMD2017-AN-180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"167\" height=\"251\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The worldwide community of museums celebrated International Museum Day 2017 around the theme <strong>&#8220;Museums and contested histories: saying the unspeakable in museums&#8221;<\/strong>. This theme focuses on the role of museums that, by working to benefit society, become hubs for promoting peaceful relationships between people. The acceptance of a contested history is the first step in envisioning a shared future under the banner of reconciliation. Saying the unspeakable in museums looks at how to understand the incomprehensible aspects of the contested histories inherent to the human race.
