Uluslararası Müzeler Günü 2024/Katılım

As part of the celebrations for the International Museum Day, Wikimedia Argentina organized two activities.

On May 28, the event Rosario en acceso abierto: Museo, Archivos y acciones colectivas was held by Wikimedia Argentina and the Museo de la Ciudad. Both organizations have been collaborating to digitize and make available the magazines "Monos y Monadas" and "Gestos y Muecas" on Wikimedia Commons.

The gathering targeted the general public and its purpose was to reflect on the nature of published documents in order to collaboratively improve the information about them on Wikimedia Commons.

The program included a panel with researchers and a workshop about Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons. More about the event here.

For the International Museum Day, Wikimedia Argentina launched the publication it had been working on for a while in collaboration with Fundación TyPA: Acciones y exhibiciones para descolonizar las narrativas de tu museo -- in English, Actions and exhibitions to decolonize your museum's narratives. The material is available on Wikimedia Commons and it covers iniatives from Latin America that best demonstrated the work with decolonization in museums. The material also includes photographs from the initiatives, which are also available on Commons, and articles about the process, including one about museums, Wikimedia, and decolonization: Descolonizar la cultura en clave digital.
