Loveable and monstrous democracy in cultural institutions
Workshop combines two creative methods in understanding how cultural institutions like archives, museums and librabries play an important role in upholding democracy.
The workshop targets professionals engaged in cultural institutions like archives, libraries and museums, and supports their understanding of how the institions fulfill the role of democracy in their everyday work.
Participants will work individually to write a love letter, articulating why democracy is worth the effort and discuss the monstrous aspect of the democratic work with the help of “Flower monster” and paper dolls for democracy, developed within the CEMES collaboration together with researchers from Lund and Copenhagen University.
The workshop opens for critical and emotional reflections around the role of cultural institutions (and their challenges) in upholding democracy in society.
Limited number of places (30).
