Analysis 4 in Berlin - Ways of unbounded communication

Organized by Uqbar from 4 to 7 May 2011


The aim of Analysis 4 in Berlin from 4 to 7 May 2011 was to learn about the physical, cultural and informational accessibility of the museums in Berlin. The group visited the Neues Museum and the Pergamonmuseum, while at the Jüdisches Museum there was a meeting with a representative of the museum education department there who presented their accessibility programmes and future plans.




Socially disadvantaged groups mean a major aspect of cultural accessibility. Deriving primarily from the phenomena of migration and emigration, discussions and presentations at Uqbar raised the problematic issues emerging from social disadvantages and provided some possible answers for these situations.

Programmes fostering accessibility or reflecting on cultural and social diversity are of vital importance in the field of cultural access and Lifelong Learning. These are the two main topics that the two Budapest events organised by the VIVO Foundation in collaboration with the Ludwig Museum - Museum of Contemporary Art as well as Analysis 4 in Berlin were focused on. Discussing these matters proved to be a very useful experience, which should be beneficial in shaping future accessibility programmes and strategies.
