Since ‘90s millions of Eastern Europeans have emigrated. In my “Three Faces of Europe” lecture (see Vault) I argued that museums must address this cultural shift urgently, fulfilling this role, or staying silent on the real impacts? mnemosophy.com/post/what-eu-u…

In some writings &lectures of which reminder is mnemosophy.com I wondered will museums survive general privatisation and the progressive abandon of societal project in the "civilisation of spectacle" (Llosa). With that context and AI they may fail.

#Heritage as a living system. If curators balanced knowledge flow, human values, and adaptive preservation to serve society in flux, we would have a future where culture is both preserved and dynamic, while professionalising the public memory sector mnemosophy.com/post/cyberneti…

Postkapitalizam je destruktivan. I za muzeje. Pretvorio se u opću privatizaciju i opasnu civilaciju spektakla. Ukidajuci javno vlasnistvo, ukida i javni interes kao glavni predmet stalnog dogovora o normi sto je bit demokracije; izravno napada identitet. autograf.hr/postkapitaliza…

Facts or objects offered, be them in museums or media depend upon presentation and interpretation. Facts? Truth can take many shapes when serving geopolitical, racial or particular intrerests. Once, the interventions were naive: AI can turn them monstrous qr.ae/pYCrf2

Economists monetize culture, so cultural professionals use economics to explain museum woes. Neoliberalism’s grotesque, circus-like assault on civil society—via privatization & wars—reveals the toll of greed: selfishness dismantling our society. mnemosophy.com/_files/ugd/3fd…

An ecomuseum isn’t a model to copy—it’s a mindset. A living, evolving force shaped by its community, redefining heritage from static display to active social change. It preserves the usable past, adding wisdom to the present. Can Museums Fight Back? mnemosophy.com/the-vault

Can museums fight back? Ecomuseums are turning heritage into a living, community-driven force. More than collections, they foster participation, dialogue, and social change—reshaping museums as agents of renewal in an evolving world.mnemosophy.com/post/can-museu… See the text at Vault

The Welfare Society and Public memory tells about custodians of truth, science, and cultural continuity. They promised a deeper understanding of the human condition. But, contrary to expectations they may delude us... mnemosophy.com/the-vault

The welfare society, once a vision of shared dignity and responsibility, is eroding. As fear and nationalism rise, and corporate interests prevail, its ideals risk fading into history—replaced by insecurity, fragmentation, and growing inequality. More: mnemosophy.com/post/the-welfa…

Tomislav Šola Velika pohlepa kao ime grijeha korporativne ekonomije, je lice procesa globalizacije baš suprotno kontekstu kojeg bismo humanistički poželjeli za neki napredak ”ljudskog stanja”, suvremenog duštva kojem služi i javna memorija autograf.hr/totalitarni-ko…

Museums are evolving fast: from immersive storytelling to robot registrars—like one already in China. Tech reshapes heritage. How do curators keep a link to reality in the metaverse era? Can we balance digital innovation with a humanist mission of memory? mnemosophy.com/post/world-of-…
