ICOM SLOVAKIA in cooperation with ICOM CZECHIA, ICOM AUSTRIA
organizes an international seminar in Bratislava on 6th and 7th of November 2019
The conference aims to evaluate and contextualize changes that have been moving museums and galleries toward new digital and social media trends over the last three decades. The suggested period from 1989 refers to the Velvet Revolution regarding the post-communist countries within our region. However, we invite a broader context involving speakers from countries without the traumatic Communist experience to explore the significance of social and cultural changes within our region in contrast with other countries. Digital media and technologies have disrupted the usual ways people obtain information on arts and cultural heritage and therefore it is essential to examine new trends and possibilities across disciplines and search for successful strategies outside the museum and gallery environment. We invite you to share your experience with us…Suggested topics for presentations:
- 30 years after [1989]–what has (not) changed in museology since 1989
- The social and political impact of 1989 on the existence and communication style of museums
- Museums–a shift from academic institutions to community platforms
- Digital strategy for museums –necessity or current trend?
