It seems that the world has rarely changed with such a speed and unpredictability as it does today. With our attention constantly fragmented, we live and work in the shadow of wars in Ukraine, in Israel and in the Middle East, hybrid threats, rising polarization and populism, geopolitical and economic instability, climate change, and demographic decline.
How can we, as museum professionals, respond to these developments? Can we remain true to our values while staying connected with our core stakeholders or partners? Are there ways to expand our scope, open new perspectives, and engage broader segments of the public? How can Jewish museums narrate the story of our times and remain compassionate and inclusive places of appreciation, reflection and empowerment?
We invite you to seek answers to these questions together with us at the AEJM Annual Conference.
