Had a great afternoon discussing museum practice with young professionals from across the globe in World Café format, tackling topics such as legal issues in restitution, contested narratives, politics and advocacy within and outside the museum.

Ik mocht woensdag met onze masterstudenten Fenix en Verhalenhuis Belvedere bezoeken in 010. Ze liggen schuin tegenover elkaar en gaan allebei over migratie en belonging, maar het contrast kan nauwelijks groter zijn.

Waar gaat u goed op?

Zittend in de oude woonkamer die nu tentoonstellingsruimte is en vol hangt met lokale kunst, luisteren de studenten geboeid naar het verhaal van onze gastvrouw / storyteller van Verhalen huis Belvedere.

Mooie dag gisteren weer met de #Reinwardt Academie.

Rondje Rotterdam: museum Fenix , Verhalenhuis Belvédère en het depot van Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.

Mooi om de verhalen achter de verhalen te zien, het museum achter het museum.

Veel inspiratie opgedaan!
Thanx, @mennowelling.bsky.social

At one time there was an idea for a summer school: Heritage and the arts as allies for social justice in contested spaces.

Then it came to fruition.

Being a heritage school in a university of the arts does have advantages. 😊

Dear universities,

I am begging you to stop requiring letters of recommendation for master's programmes. You and I both know you don't read them, so stop asking for them.

Instead, have applicants list a name and get in touch if it's a borderline case.

Signed,
Everyone.
