Migrations
The Slovene Ethnographic Museum as a place of dialogue between cultures, at this historic time of mass migration calls for knowledge and understanding of our own and other cultures. We need to rethink the relationship between human universals and cultural diversity, and to ask what unites rather than divides us.
Museums and migration
How to address this questions (of migration) in a museum?
- Give a voice to those involved in these processes (the principle - nothing about us, without us),
- Offer artistic visions of universal problems that we are urgently faced with
- Through museum policies in collecting contemporary items.
Framing Equality
Photostories by migrant and Roma women
The exhibited photostories show the challenges faced by migrant and Roma women, one of the most vulnerable social groups, from their viewpoint. The images are the product of empowerment workshops. The creators of the exhibition stem from different cultural environments with the common denominator that they all live in Slovenia.
