“Distances”: a look at a new situation (ocim)
The Ocim (Observation Cooperation Museum Information) proposes the sharing of reflections of professionals from the museum world to invent the afterlife, which seem to me really inspiring to innovate in the audiovisual field..
Cultural sociologists, actors of the museum world, deliver reflections and proposals of a very high level, in my opinion: Distances Archives - ocim.
Distances: a look at a new situation
Due to the Covid-19 epidemic, the Pcsti landscape has been living in a time of containment and social distancing since March 17. Distances welcomes the reflexive and instantaneous glances of actors (researchers, professionals) during this unprecedented period, to better grasp the stakes, today for tomorrow.
What is culture for? Are we going to return to cultural places as much as before and for what reasons? Should we rethink cultural proposals to adapt them? But to adapt them to what and how? These are fundamental questions that are posed today and tomorrow to the actors of the cultural field (as well as many other fields). Since the first containment related to the Covid-19 epidemic in March 2020 and during the following two years, many initiatives and remote alternatives have been invented. The cultural practice after Covid-19 is already and will continue to be quite different from the one before. It seems important to me to make innovative proposals to the public, that is to say, adapted, in their form and content, to a new reality.
Culture is a bonding factor, it is the essence of social cohesion, and it has even been proven that it is also an important component of health. Culture is a common good that we share and that builds us. The living culture after the Covid-19 crisis (confinements and other authoritarian legislative incoherence, restrictions of freedom, discriminations, fear of the other, mass manipulation, submission to authority...) will have to be more inclusive, less overhanging, more inventive, more agile, more cooperative, the participation and the place of the people being again in the center of the stakes, and this in the greatest artistic and democratic requirement.
You will find here concrete proposals for cultural actions that are antifragile to crises, often around audiovisual and digital, experimental or already proven, as well as tools for reflection for the “updating” of cultural policies.
