Webinar 3 - Community-based museums in times of crisis: technology

[Museos comunitarios en tiempos de crisis: la tecnología]

Hosted through a collaboration of the EU-LAC-MUSEUMS project, ICOM-Europe and ICOM-LAC (Latin America and the Caribbean).

Our years of working bi-regionally as a team have demonstrated that museums cannot only plan and prepare for a disaster, but can also be reliably called upon to help communities recover when disaster strikes (both in the short and long term), and to engage in processes of documentation and memory of traumatic events (https://www.eu-lac.org/vmcarib/panels/). By highlighting their social function, museums can take on a relevant role in the containment, reflection, and memory of crises – when they are over.
During the third Webinar to be held on 10 July will be specifically devoted to the role of digital technologies during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Webinar 2: Friday 10 July 2020 at 16:00 UTC
Topic: Community-based museums at times of crisis
Co-moderators: Lauran Bonilla-Merchav and Karen Brown
