A YEAR in REarVIEW!

2022 was a kind of a first major milestone for (Open) GLAM wiki work in Croatia. With Clubture@20 being a first collective GLAM project of pioneering both research and education (OK - maybe we tried too much). Though work on Wikipedia in the Croatian language, Wikidata and Commons was not easy, after 6 months we have a group of people who have cultural background and basic Wikimedia knowledge*(also including amazing Italian intern) ... hence able to plan a more projects in the future.

We also have first regional visibility and networking experience thanks to CEE Meeting in Ohrid where we did (recorded) workshop-discussion noGLAMorɚ - WM and (non-institutional) cultural organizations, as a direction often not taken in Wikimedia.

Aside from this we also presented at online conference ADRINETBOOK (co-organized by Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb and CONTACTS by Pixelache festival at Kiasma, but also again supported Wiki work on the Zagreb's glitch art and (20th!) human rights film festivals *(with focus on Wikidata and Wikispore).

In 2023, we hope to advance the partnerships both with cultural and art organizations in Croatia, as well as Wikimedia Affiliates in the region and beyond. The ongoing communication with WWH UG on Trogir, Wikimedia Germany for Wikibase as SaaSS, Wikimedia Czechia plans of ICOM Southeast Redlist work and hopefully others (like Wikimedia CEE Hub and Wikimedia Sweden with their Hub for institutional partnerships) should mark 2023.
