Aida Vežić’s reflections on the META-MUSEUM:
“When we visit museums we want to learn about ourselves and the world. In times full of uncertainties, having a trustworthy institution like a museum that educates, engages and creates a safe space for all communities is crucial. Museum visits empower, provide a mirror, show a roadmap of connections, excite us and stay memorable! To deal with contemporary hard problems such as climate emergency requires us to understand what it means to be human. To rethink the society and its core values. The objectives of the project META-MUSEUM work towards that vision and I am curious to see it unravel some of the most important issues for the museum world today.”
