This presentation has been prepared for the Muzeum @ Digit Conference 2016 at the Hungarian National Museum (Budapest, 22-23 November 2016). It describes an open source solution - as are those proposed and fostered by OSACA, the Open Source Alliance of Central Asia, founded in Kabul in October 2011 - to map and manage a knowledge base related to both governmental mining prospects and cultural heritage protection. Though based on case studies located in Afghanistan, this solution would be well suited for being applied in many different contexts, too.]]>

This presentation has been prepared for CMA 2014, the Canadian Museums Association's yearly meeting taking place in Toronto from 7-11 April 2014. It focuses on inclusion of audience as co-curators and co-creators of added value to museums collections, on digital engagement (Jasper Visser & Jim Richardson) and "stepping down" from curators as opinion makers/leaders, to focus towards museums (and museum professionals) as enzymes of under-the-surface-lying creativity in the communities they wish to address, facilitators for new values and new visions to emerge. The presentation, quoting case studies from Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, and Italy (the Visual Arts Research and Documentation Centre at MACRO Contemporary Art Museum), was discussed on April 10, 2014 at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel (Imperial Room).]]>

This presentation has been prepared for the Canadian Museums Association 2013 Conference in Whitehorse, Yukon (Canada), and presented on 30 May 2013. Next to addressing the varied setting of Afghanistan's complex cultural stratigraphy, it describes a few case studies of successful and not-so-successful endeavours in the area, stressing the need of an extreme flexibility in setting up a cooperation between museum professionals. This flexibility shoul not be just confined to the tools we choose, but should also englobe our values, strategies, and priorities. In this way, we'll be able to break the dichotomy of "giving a man a fish and feeding him for a day" or "teaching a man to fish and feed him for a life": going out to fish together for a while, each one will come back enriched from the interaction.]]>

Budget cuts are no longer to be considered a merely temporary accident, so we have to face the fact that ours is now a post-affluent society, where vast primadonna-like museal programmes (and architectures) are going to be a thing of the past, and sustainability, as well as vernacular architectures, are the things we should take into focus. This also means downsizing infrastructures and tools. In documentation and communication - of single artefacts, collections, and museum programmes - we can consider the role of humbler (and less expensive) tools. Like social upheaval’ dissemination in the Maghreb and in the Middle East has effectively demonstrated, a smartphone can be a very powerful tool. If we think of the fact that museum professionals are very often already networked, we can easily imagine a new, “lighter” and less expensive process of collections’ documentation, based on already existing know-how. This presentation has been prepared for a meeting organized by ICOM and the City of Bologna Museums Authority, focused on the preservation of virtual memories (19 May 2011). Further details about the meeting can be found on twitter at #memorievirtuali. If not stated otherwise, all pictures are by the author.]]>
