Non-Conference
Workshop situation at ZKM
What if Educators took over the Museum?
Thu, March 21, 2024 – Fri, March 22, 2024, Open Lab
Foyer, Atrium 8+9
Languages: German, English

The concept of the »useful museum« sees art institutions as places for social responsibility and defines curatorial practice as social practice. This is where the »Non-Conference« comes in and asks: What if educators took over the museum?

In open workshops, radio discussions, lectures and over a shared meal, we want to think about topics such as health, technology, education and society from an artistic perspective.

We will be guided by the following scenarios:
What if museums were responsible for society's wellbeing? 
What if museums changed our notion of technology?
What if museums inspired us to do things artistically?
What if educators took over the museum?
