ACMC 2025 - Crisis & Resilience
Webinar: Funding Culture: public responsibility or private opportunity?
Who should bear the cost of culture in the 21st century — the state, the market, or both? This webinar will explore the evolving balance between public support, private capital, and impact-driven investment, asking how culture can remain accessible, sustainable, and innovative. With experts from policy, philanthropy, finance, and the creative industries, we will discuss the risks, benefits, and future directions of hybrid funding. Ultimately, we’ll reflect not only on who pays for culture, but also on what kind of culture we want to build.
Speakers: Paulina Florjanowicz (Director of National Institute for Museums and archaeologist, along with Javier Arias from EIT Culture & Creativity and Alice Demattos Guimaraes, cultural economist.
Moderated by Petra Hunt (ACMC).
Webinar: Resilience in Cultural Heritage
In this webinar we delve into the concept of resilience in cultural heritage. Two experts from the field, Sandro Debono, Executive board member in the Network of European Museum Associations and Jasna Popovic, Secretary in the European Students’ Association for Cultural Heritage, will elaborate on how museums and cultural heritage specialists embrace the resilience culture and they will try to assess whether resilience is an innate feature or a responsive measure to the loss of public value. They will provide exemplary acts of resilience from museum directors and curators as well as engage in speculations on new contemporary methods/tools of resilience.
Speakers: Jasna Popović (European Students’ Association for Cultural Heritage, Secretary) and Sandro Debono (Network of European Museum Associations).
Moderated by Petra Hunt (ACMC).
Webinar: On the Ground Cultural Political Activism
This webinar was conceptualised in partnership with the European Network of Cultural Centres (ENCC) and envisages a discussion with and among managers of cultural centres within and beyond Europeans borders. We want to understand what role they envisage for culture nowadays, what new challenges they face in their community building activities, if cultural activism has become more political, and whether the nature of on the ground cultural activism has changed for good or is just adapting to unprecedented challenges.
Speakers: Piotr Michalowski (European Network of Cultural Centres (ENCC), Heather O’Donnell (The Green Room, Cologne), Ana Riaboshenko (Culture for Democracy, Georgia), and An Pauwels (De Grote Post, Belgium).
Moderated by Petra Hunt (ACMC).
