KEYNOTE SPEECH : MUSEUMS IN THE CURVE

International keynote speaker Julia Pagel will introduce the conference day with a presentation about the financial impact on museums during COVID19 in Europe and new funding approaches for crisis-resilient museums. The presentation will include a detailed look into museums’ strategies to access alternative funding sources during the COVID19 crisis, and explore which digital services were valued most by the audiences during the “digital museum wave”, when museums were closed to the public.

PANEL 1 - FUNDING AND THE NEW NORMAL IN MUSEUMS

Faced by mounting financial tensions amid the COVID-19 pandemic museums face uncertain times. After their core operations were disrupted during the first wave of the pandemic, the doors reopened to the public but with reduced capacity. Besides the emergency funds, different alternatives or additional financing possibilities might create perspectives for a new balance in financing. Some of them, like philanthropy, have already some tradition in Belgium, and others, like the possibility of a tax shelter, might become part of a new model of museum financing.

PANEL 2 - MUSEUMS & ACTIVISM : NEUTRALITY QUESTIONED

It’s 2020 and it’s time to face it, neutrality does not exist in museums. What is shown and programmed in museums is the result of choices. Through their offer, museums reflect on past, present and future and therefore give meaning to the society they operate in. In a post-colonial era where organizations are to be held responsible to the communities they serve, how can we make room for the previously unheard, yet equally important voices? How can museums truly become more participatory, representative and inclusive and move over to concrete actions?
