The team at Kraków’s Europa Nostra Heritage Hub is not only engaged in heritage practice, but also in scholarly work. The Hub’s Head, Dr. Katarzyna Jagodzińska, has just published her new book in the prestigious British Routledge publishing house: ‘Participation and the Post-Museum’.
Do participatory tools, indeed, make museums participatory? Or maybe they contribute to create an illusion that conceals an authoritarian position that remains unchanged? The book elaborates critical thinking on one of today’s most popular buzzwords: participation.
The book discusses power relations in museums and empowering the public to co-author, collaborate and take co-responsibility. Discussion is based on case studies from Polish museums – they are historical, art, ethnographic and universal museums, located in cities and provinces.
The publication will take a leading role at three meetings taking place in various museums described extensively in the book: 15 May 2025 at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw, 28 May 2025 at the Museum of Podgórze in Kraków, and 5 June 2025 at the Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź.
The Institute of European Studies at the Jagiellonian University is a partner of the meetings, with communication support from the Europa Nostra Heritage Hub.
