Go backCulture vs. Disinformation: Cultural Guardians Debate at Humboldt Forum
About:
On Friday, 18 September, OBMIN, together with its partners, will host a public debate at the Humboldt Forum in Berlin on Culture vs. Disinformation, focusing on the role of culture and museums in countering disinformation in the age of hybrid warfare. The event serves as the public highlight of the international Cultural Guardians exchange program.
In an era overrun by political, historical, and cultural disinformation, museums bear a vital responsibility: to remain unassailably trustworthy institutions while serving as essential arenas for civic debate. During the event, experts from Ukraine, Poland, and Germany will examine how the cultural sector can fortify social resilience against modern hybrid threats.
