Over 30 countries pledged support for #Ukraine’s cultural sector at the UNESCO conference in #Vilnius. This is a huge step forwards to safeguard Ukraine’s rich cultural heritage. The 10 concrete proposals for the reconstruction of Ukraine discussed by Ukrainian museums a week ago at the conference in Berlin “From crisis to future. New responsibilities for museums in Ukraine” were introduced in the UNESCO conference and will accompany the ongoing international support. The next step will be the Ukraine Recovery Conference next week in #Berlin where culture now will be given a bigger place. Culture is an indispensable part of the future of Ukraine. This is why Russia, in effort to re-colonalize Ukraine, continues to systematically destroy and rob sites of cultural heritage. Ukraine has much to contribute to Europe’s cultural heritage. Let’s save it! You want to read the 10 proposals by Ukrainian museums? See: www.obmin.eu OBMIN UNESCO #UkraineRecoveryConference

"The symposium aims to examine the relationships between the publics and peace-building processes in contested cities. (...) The island in general and Nicosia, a divided European capital with a prolonged history of conflict, internal refugees' displacements, migration and tourist flows, economic fluctuations, and rapid, often abrupt urban transformations, serve as an ideal laboratory to explore, unravel, and question public space development in unstable and contested contexts. The local urban context provides a valuable case study and can unveil the complexity of all the factors that condition the various forms of public space in contemporary contested, continuously transformed contexts."

Exhibition: China seen from Europe, 16th-19th century On display until March 2, at the National Library of Portugal, Gallery – Floor 2 (Campo Grande, 83, Lisbon) – Free Entry. Europe came to know China better, especially during the late Middle Ages, through the relationships created with Christian merchants and missionaries. However, it was at the beginning of the 16th century, within the framework of Portuguese maritime expansion, that a more constant presence of Europeans on the Chinese coasts allowed for a gradually more complete knowledge of China. Through this exhibition, which includes maps and itineraries, literary works, as well as objets d'art and digital images, you can follow some of the most important moments in the construction of the image of China from Europe between the 16th and 19th centuries. 25 Jan. | 6pm | Tour guided by Rui Lourido 15 Feb. | 2:30 pm | Tour guided by Rui Lourido 24 Feb. | 3pm | Tour guided by Rui Lourido 2 Mar. | 3pm | Tour guided by Rui Lourido All guided tours are free, but subject to prior registration at rel_publicas@bnportugal.gov.pt. Organizer: China Observatory and National Library of Portugal, with the support of research centers and universities in Portugal, Italy and China. #Portugal #China #Macau #History #Exhibition #ObservatóriodaChina #BibliotecaNacionalPortugal #FundaçãoMacau #UCCLA

Currently, Ukraine does not have a strategy for digitizing cultural heritage. There are no approved standards and rules at the legislative level that museums can follow. The international standards used in digitization work still need to be adapted to Ukrainian realities. One of the main challenges in digitization is the lack of a regulated electronic inventory system for museum artifacts. The lack of electronic records has become even more critical during the war. To learn more about how now are exhibits digitized and how can this help us in the war with Russia, read the article on the website 👉 bit.ly/ukrheritage

AMMITEC Party, 6June, #Posidonia2024 Exhibition At the AMMITEC party, our founder, Dimitris Lyras Lyras, greeted friends and guests, and stressed the significance of Mediterranean thinking and its suitability to #informationtechnology going forward. He boldly, or perhaps too boldly predicted that in 30 years Greece would lead the #IT industry worldwide. His prediction may seem like #soundbites but the rationale is founded on previously published material that indicate that it is not a fleeting thought: https://lnkd.in/dYZaxU-w https://lnkd.in/dCmi8vrf ‘Greeks and Our Diaspora’ and  ‘Information Technology in the Maritime Industry’ are articles and at the same time commentaries by Dimitris Lyras, on the book “Xylina Teichi”/Wooden Ramparts by George Prevelakis  “In his book, says Dimitris, George Prevelakis expresses unprecedented optimism for Greece and its Diaspora. In an age of advanced technological globalization, he sees networking to be a momentous opportunity for Greece.”   George Prevelakis is Permanent Representative of Greece to the OECD and Emeritus Professor at Pantheon-Sorbonne University (Paris 1). #event #Greece #UlyssesSystems #TaskAssistant #shipsandshipping #seafarers #maritimetechnology #maritime #smartshipping #vesselmanagement #software #softwaredevelopment #integration #digital #ourcommunity #datamodel #commonsense

As of today, 107 museums from all parts of #Ukraine are represented on our platform. Russian aggression also means destroying Ukrainian culture and national identity. What is important at this point is planning the #future for Ukrainian #museums, which are one of the elements of Ukraine's reconstruction. Museums are an indispensable part of an open society – not only to preserve the past in all its diversity, but at least as much to reflect present experiences and to prepare the future of our societies. Now, we are bringing over hundred Ukrainian museums‘ experts to a conference in #Berlin on May 28-29. Museums have a #voice! conference organizers: OBMIN, Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Ernst von Siemens Kunststiftung, Ukrainian Institute, Polnisches Institut Berlin, European Network Remembrance and Solidarity, @Bundesinstitut für Kultur und Geschichte des östlichen Europa (BKGE) patronage: Auswärtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany, Die Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien), @Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine, Ministerstwo Spraw Zagranicznych in cooperation with: @Bundesministerium für Wohnen, Stadtentwicklung und Bauwesen, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, Fundacja Współpracy Polsko-Niemieckiej, @kultura.agency, Gerda Henkel Stiftung , Open Society Foundations, Ministerstwo Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego Anastasia Bondar Kateryna Rietz-Rakul @Platform Wiederaufbau Ukraine Marius Jedlitschka ALIPH - International alliance for the protection of heritage in conflict areas

How would you display your country in an international exhibition? This question became a particularly salient one for new states as they sought to showcase their independent statehood to the rest of the world. The Israeli pavillion at Expo Montreal in 1967 became a renowned success. Designed under the leadership of pioneering architect Arieh Sharon, the pavillion included an exhibition area where one of the original Dead Sea Scrolls was put on display, a dark room describing the Holocaust and a bright room that described the birth of Israel. https://lnkd.in/dFMvVUms My forthcoming book chapter on the performative aspects of new statehood in international society will include this and other displays by new states. In the meantime, a quick question to my Turkish students: how would you display Turkey at an international expo?
