MiQua and Museum Selma have a number of things in common: Both emerged from the initiative of a committed association and both museums are still under construction, but are already focusing on participation before they open. With projects and programs, the two institutions are already having an impact on urban society and drawing attention to their work. Participation is of particular importance. But how does participation succeed in museums? What opportunities do the institutions already have... without a building? What can projects such as the "DOMiDLabs: Laboratories for Participatory Museum Design", in which members of the diverse urban community engage with museum content and design issues, achieve?
MiQua employees talk about this with Sandra Vacca, employee for participation and content at DOMiD, on whose behalf the Selma Museum is being created. Using the DOMiDLabs as an example, they will demonstrate the potential offered by genuine participation.
The discussion starts at 16:00 and will be repeated at 18:30.
Address: MiQua:forum, Alter Markt 31, 50667 Cologne
About the MiQua:forum:
Even before MiQua opens, the MiQua:forum in the Red House at Alter Markt 31 in Cologne offers you a window into the future museum. Visit us every Thursday from 1 to 8 pm. From 4 p.m., our curators and the director of MiQua offer a varied and entertaining range of information. Get to know stories of 2000 years of coexistence in the heart of Cologne and learn more about construction, Jewish life and Roman and medieval archaeological finds. You can find the entire program of events on the MiQua website: https://miqua.lvr.de/de/veranstaltungen/veranstaltungen_1.html
