CoMuseum 2023
MUSEUMS AND JUSTICE
6 – 8 DECEMBER 2023
The 13th CoMuseum International Conference “Museums and Justice” focused on justice and representation: being fair within and through museums and cultural organizations. We explored the degree to which DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility) principles are being considered or applied internally in cultural organizations in terms of employment, governance, and programming, and how in turn this process, or lack of, affects cultural action around the world.
The 13th CoMuseum International Conference took place on December 6 and the workshops/masterclasses on December 7 at the Benaki Museum/Pireos 138 in Athens. On December 8, the CoMuseum Thessaloniki edition took place at the Thessaloniki Concert Hall (Megaron), at the Emilios Riadis Hall. The Thessaloniki program featured a Plenary session, as well as masterclasses for museum and cultural professionals and civil society groups.
During the 13th conference, 34 speakers, professionals from international museums and cultural organizations, artists, civil society representatives, educators, and academics examined the above issues through keynotes, panel discussions, fireside chats, workshops and masterclasses.
