Swiss GLAM Programme
GLAM Biel/Bienne
The last meeting was dedicated to faces and masks. Curator Ila Wingen presented the exhibition "Faces" that was realised in Berlin. 48 artists worked on the topic. Ila plans to continue the work and to open it up to intercultural dialogues and exchanges. The regular GLAM-Meetings in the Art Centre Biel/Bienne will continue for 2025.
Decolonization
In December the decolonizing project started. Although Switzerland had no colonies it was still exploiting the global south economicly. In Zurich there are several exhibitions on the subject. The guided tour and edit-a-thons are starting in January. It is also possible to contribute online.
Mind the Gap
In order to increase inclusivity and knowledge equity all the knowledge gaps need to be addressed. In the canon there are still lots of perspectives missing, especially the female knowledge canon. With the project on Archives Metapage the goal is to create awareness and access. The first film is the starting point of a series of short films.
