Daring to trust – shaping courage

Joint conference organised by VERA and the Exhibitions Working Group of the German Museum Association

Trust and courage shape exhibition projects in many different ways: they influence decisions, facilitate collaboration and create space for new ideas. Yet in practice, they are rarely explicitly addressed. The joint conference organised by VERA and the Exhibitions Working Group focuses on courage and trust as emotions and social forces. To kick off the event, Friedrich von Borries will present a keynote address from a design theory perspective, focusing on the future viability of exhibition practice. The programme also features practical examples of successful collaborations and a joint discussion on the challenges and stumbling blocks surrounding trust and courage in exhibition projects.
