Preparing Museums for a Crisis: Lessons from Ukraine
Caption
Hear from a panel of international cultural professionals discussing best practices for preserving cultural heritage.
Learn about the destruction of Ukrainian cultural heritage by Russia and the steps taken by Ukrainians and the international community to protect it, and lessons learned for how to prepare museums anywhere for possible future crises. We also encourage partnerships between American and Ukrainian institutions to support cultural heritage workers and share best practices.

Panelists include Ihor Pashyvailo, Director General of the Maidan Museum and co-founder of HERI and ACURE; Kateryna Kulai, Director of the Odesa National Fine Arts Museum; Milena Chorna, Co-founder and Head of Association of Ukrainian Museums; and Arnoud Odding, Strategic Advisor for the Dutch museum and cultural heritage sector. Glen Davis, retired Foreign Service Officer of the U.S. Department of State, moderates this discussion.

This webinar was recorded on 17 September, 2026. This webinar was hosted by The Peale, a community museum located in Baltimore, MD USA, in collaboration with Baltimore Sister Cities (Odesa and Rotterdam Sister City Committees). It was held in conjunction with the We Know Who They Are: Artworks and Narrative From the Invasion of Ukraine exhibition that was on display at The Peale. Thank you to event partner, DutchCulture -- the Netherlands' network organization for international cultural cooperation -- for advice and logistical support. Thank you to America Houses in Kyiv, Odesa, and Lviv for live-streaming the webinar.

DutchCulture & Het Zuid-Afrikahuis Present: Unlearning Knowledge Institutions
Caption
Archives, libraries, and historical collections have been instrumental in the construction of knowledge in the colonial paradigm. In recent years, artists and makers have intervened in these knowledge systems. They formulate approaches to read the colonial archive against the grain or perform on commemorative sites to invite multivocal readings of the past. In this event, DutchCulture and the Zuid-Afrika Huis invite several artists to share their interventions in knowledge institutions between the Netherlands, South Africa and other contexts.
