Towards accessible cultural institutions
A collection of three volumes is available in bookstores published as part of the Personeper program. Accessibility in cultural places. An editorial proposal, curated by Anna Chiara Cimoli and Domenico Sergi, which contributes to the public debate on cultural accessibility addressing museums, archives, and libraries as spaces of rights, participation, and social development.
Through foreign contributions translated into Italian for the first time, original contributions specially commissioned, and an array of illustrations, the publications each tackle a macro-issue — space, language, representation — from a perspective transversal to the different cultural places.
Mediate, tell, communicate
Tellingcultural heritage today means making content, languages, and experiences accessible to increasingly diverse audiences. Mediare, raccontare, comunicare (Mediating, Narrating, Communicating) is the online course, available at fad.fondazionescuolapatrimonio.it, for professionals working in curating, education, mediation, and communication of cultural heritage and collections
What does GLAM mean?
The collaboration between museums, archives, and libraries (GLAM) is based on the assumption that these three types of organizations, sharing the mission of conserving and enhancing the cultural heritage they collect, address the same communities, offer similar services, and share working practices.
However, the disciplinary fields of the professionals involved are very different, and the operating models and management and enhancement practices of the organizations are not always compatible.
