A combination of technological evolutions, new business models and faltering legal reactions, will make 2025 a tipping point for the future of cultural diversity in Europe. Read all about it in my personal opinion that you'll find here (big thank you to the proofreaders, you know who you are ;-) )

From the ARChives “Cultural appropriation: A conversation” Today we are re-sharing an in-depth piece from 2021, based on an open and honest conversation between ARC CEO Janett Walker and ARC volunteer Dr. Karen Lockney. You might have seen headlines and debates about cultural appropriation in the news. But what is it? And what questions do we need to ask ourselves about whether we are uplifting and supporting another culture and when we are outright stealing and causing harm? It’s well worth taking the time to read and reflect on this article. And how we often need much more nuance, reflection and context than a headline or social media post provides. Spoiler alert: there are no easy answers here, no check list of what is or isn’t acceptable though we do provide some guidance at the end of this article. Reading this might give you more questions than answers, we hope you will find it interesting. What are your reflections? And how has this shifted your perspective? https://lnkd.in/dGyE--Sd

World Intellectual Property Day highlights the crucial role that intellectual property rights play in encouraging innovation and creativity worldwide, fostering economic development and cultural diversity. . . . #worldintellectualpropertyday #intellectualpropertyday #tragle #traglesoftware

📍 I am excited to hear the panel discussion next Thursday, 3rd October from 6 to 8 pm at Busboys and Poets on 14th Street, Washington D.C. Presenting Tim Davis who will be moderating, Carol Beane, Jon C. Cawley, and Ibrahim Al-Assil. When I am thinking of our next Science and Art Cafe talk on “Freedom”, I question how much creativity and censorship should be allowed in the realm of art and science. Creativity, by its very nature, thrives on the boundless potential of the human mind, pushing the boundaries of what is known and accepted. It is the driving force behind innovation, culture, and personal growth. However, with creative freedom comes the responsibility to consider the impact of that expression on society. Censorship, on the other hand, is often viewed as a tool for maintaining social harmony and protecting individuals from harmful or offensive content. The balance between allowing full creative freedom and imposing necessary restrictions is delicate and complex. 🇸🇬 Raised in Singapore within the heart of an artistic yet traditional Malay Muslim family, and later married to an American soldier, I’ve intimately experienced the intricate dance between restraint and creativity. Historically, some of the most groundbreaking works of art, technology, and music emerged from contexts where censorship was either minimal or absent. Yet, there have also been instances where the lack of regulation has led to the dissemination of harmful ideologies and misinformation. I feel the key lies in finding a middle ground where creativity can flourish but not at the expense of societal well-being. Open dialogue, education, and ethical considerations play crucial roles in navigating this balance. Encouraging artists and creators to be mindful of their influence while also advocating for the protection of their right to express themselves freely is essential. ☮ Ultimately, the goal should be to foster an environment where creativity is not stifled by undue censorship but rather guided by principles that uphold the dignity, respect, and shared values of the community. I believe this approach allows for a rich tapestry of expression that can inspire, challenge, and unite us all. These are just my thoughts. Come share yours at our next Science and Art Cafe!

Each of us dances across multiple stages, donning various roles as son, daughter, employee, parent, friend, entrepreneur, artist, and so on. But far from tiring us, these identities weave the rich fabric of our existence, pushing us toward expansive personal growth. Have you ever noticed how your problem-solving kicks into high gear when switching from a spreadsheet at work to plotting a birthday celebration? It turns out that having multiple roles can actually make people more creative, according to a new study. “Multiple identities provide people with multiple role perspectives and identity standards, and thus make them have multiple cognitive schemas and emotional frames, which further enhance their ambivalent experiences and creative performance,” says Professor Dora Lau of CUHK Business School. https://lnkd.in/gAxsiYH7

And here is the final Declaration https://lnkd.in/erSgDyE8 And a few photos!

LAST CALL! Submissions for the Spring 2025 issue of Exhibition are due Tuesday, July 16! "The Ethics Issue" explores the multifaceted ethical considerations of exhibition-making. At a moment when expectations of museums and their behavior are rapidly evolving, this issue asks: How should our institutions move beyond legal obligations to embrace notions of what is right, just, and equitable? Whether addressing calls for internal transformation in relation to pay, hiring practices, or seats at the decision-making table or considering appeals for justice in relation to representation, restitution, and repatriation, all articles should demonstrate how museums are grappling with these complex issues and suggest how exhibition teams can move past legal requirements toward an understanding of ethical responsibility based on care and mutual respect.
