Gender Attitudes Roles Evaluation in Collections‐Based Organizations
Collections‐based organizations (CBOs) have historically been institutions that reinforce values and power structures including gender inequalities. However, in recent decades, feminism and critical theory have promoted significant changes in how CBOs address gender issues in their collections, exhibitions, and educational programmes. Nonetheless, many of these initiatives have not been evaluated, whereas those that are evaluated are scattered, a…
Bridging Creative Industries and Museums
A global survey was conducted in 2022 with the aim of identifying what professionals in the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) expect from collection-based organisations (CBOs) and what their contribution to their preservation, management, and/or use could be. A total of 151 responses were obtained from the five UNESCO regions, the majority of whom were between 31 and 50 years of age, which is convenient when analysing the responses as they …
Transforming Our World
The TOWCHED project explores how arts and heritage-based educational methodologies can support sustainable development by enhancing key transversal competencies in learners, particularly children and youth. In response to the global challenges outlined in the sustainable development goals (SDGs), this project promotes inclusive and participatory approaches to education that foster social cohesion, intercultural understanding, and civic engagement…
Re-reading collections. A sustainable toolkit to achieve gender equality in museums
During the last century, collections in heritage institutions have been constructed with heteropatriarchal bias, considering women as desired objects rather than creators, patrons, and artists as active protagonists of historical narratives. Excluding them as exceptions creates an important bias in how culture is approached. Nonetheless, some heritage institutions are eager to transform their sustainability aspirations and commitments into action…
A comparative study on the use of spatiotemporal maps for teaching data visualization in a hybrid learning context
Data visualization is a complex matter and so is teaching it in the context of engineering and data science. Even more challenging is teaching in a midst of once in a century pandemic. In this paper, we show the results of a workshop conducted with second-year students on a university degree in data science, which took place in the context of pandemic restrictions in a hybrid learning environment. About half of the students were in the classroom …
Technological Tools for the Conservation and Dissemination of Valencian Design Archives
Design has shaped the world in which we live; it has improved our lives in ways we cannot even begin to imagine. Even if design is everywhere and is the memory of the world, collections associated with it are not usually well-known as design archives which capture spatial and temporal narratives. Saving these types of archives and making them accessible to the public, using them as cultural hubs, might improve our lives thanks to visual literacy,…
Recovering Sicilian Silk Heritage through Digital Technologies
Textile conservation has given rise to small and medium-sized museums, usually with scarce resources. In Sicily, the little evidence that remains of silk production and opulent imports by the rich and powerful local aristocracy is kept in museums, parishes, and other cultural institutions. The documentation, dissemination, and enhancement of such a fragile heritage is today possible by means of technological tools that provide novel means to pres…
Rereadings
In this text, we present the contributions of the Spain-based project Rereadings. Museum Itineraries from a Gender Perspective, which aims to present to the public the collections of 11 Valencian museums, of various kinds and under different types of ownership, from a gender and queer perspective. Rereadings uses virtual itineraries and QR codes to contribute to the study of gender. Thus, technology is used as a basis for information disseminatio…
Towards the Preservation and Dissemination of Historical Silk Weaving Techniques in the Digital Era
Historical weaving techniques have evolved in time and space giving as result more or less fabrics with different aesthetical characteristics. These techniques were transferred along the main silk production centers, thanks to the European Silk Road and creating a common European Frame on themes and techniques. These had made it complicated to determine whether a fabric corresponds to one century or another. Moreover, in order to understand their…
