THE MUSEUM IN COMMUNITY

24. 04. 2023

The Museum in Community is an exhibition project that was created through a process of cooperation and co-creation between individuals and institutions in the Ljubljana district-neighbourhood of Nove Fužine. With the project, we want to show the power of community when it connects across generations and institutions. Architecture and design, as reflected in everyday life, are entry points for connecting with the community. The museum environment is a place for knowledge exchange and co-creation and represents a safe environment where we can think openly, ask questions, test ideas, exchange experiences, experiment, and debate.

 

The purpose of the project is to enable accessibility and to foster the inclusion of vulnerable groups as well as intergenerational cooperation toward overcoming societal challenges. With the exhibition we reach beyond the formal boundaries of the museum and connect the public space between the neighbourhood and the museum. The projects we have created – a community garden, a natural playground, and a place to socialize in natural surroundings –

are meant to remain available to the community beyond the duration of the exhibition.

 

The exhibition also features a diverse range of accompanying events that encourage intergenerational cooperation between individuals and institutions.
