MuseumWeek 2024's Daily Hashtags
Join us for the International Week of Museums, taking place both onsite and online from June 3 to June 9.
Dear Esteemed Readers,
In a world marked by turmoil, culture stands as a beacon of unity and understanding, transcending boundaries and fostering a sense of shared humanity. It serves as a repository of collective memory and history, reminding us of our interconnectedness amidst global challenges. Culture enriches our lives, offering solace and inspiration, and encouraging resilience in the face of adversity. It facilitates dialogue and empathy, bridging divides and nurturing peace through the appreciation of diverse perspectives. Ultimately, culture is a vital tool for healing, growth, and the promotion of global solidarity, making it more essential than ever in turbulent times.
In 2023, Culture For Causes Network initiated the "Nature and Culture" program, driven by the profound belief that to facilitate humanity's reconciliation with itself and the natural world, it is crucial to engage emotions and reshape perceptions through the power of Culture. This program also sets the stage for MuseumWeek 2024, a global event scheduled from June 3 to June 9. During this week, cultural organizations across the globe are invited to develop a mix of physical and digital initiatives, embracing the concept of "7 days, 7 themes, 7 hashtags". To maintain balance and avoid overloading the week with excessive content on a single subject, not all days will exclusively focus on environmental issues, but this remains the main theme for this year as well. Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums are encouraged to interpret these hashtags in a manner that aligns with their specific field of expertise and the unique nature of their institution.
