How can criticism of the museum be effectively channelled within the institution itself? What role do museums play as venues for democratic participation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drawing on the recently published anthology Das radikaldemokratische Museum revisited<\/em> (Baur\/Sternfeld, transcript 2026), Joachim Baur examines current challenges facing curatorial practice \u2013 from the \u2018culture war\u2019 waged by the right to the importance of critical mediation in publicly funded cultural institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following the lecture, Joachim Baur will speak with Olga Schubert about the future of the museum as a democratic space and invite the audience to join the discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prof. Joachim Baur is a curator and Professor of Empirical Cultural Studies at the Institute for Art and Material Culture at TU Dortmund University. Together with Katrin Pieper, he heads the Berlin-based exhibition office \u2018Die Exponauten. Ausstellungen et cetera\u2019. His research focuses on museum theory, curatorial practice, material culture and migration. He is a board member of ICOM Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attendance at the event is free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No registration is required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
