NEMO Webinar | Ece Özdil | Museums in 2020+: The search for meaning
Channel: NEMO - Network of European Museum Organisations
Date: 2021-03-03

This NEMO Webinar explores the next trends for museums. Ece Özdil, Jüniör, guides us in the search for meaning during the pandemic and a time of general questioning of the role and relevance of museums. By presenting museum trends and related design methods, she helps us reflect on a meaningful future for museums. 

This year museums have found themselves in a world that is totally unpredictable and changing daily with new expectations and complicated tasks on their shoulders every day. These difficulties, together with the questions that have arisen continuously during the past few years, such as ‘what is the role of a museum?’, ‘how will museums change?’ and ‘how do they have to change?’, have guided the title of this webinar: The Search For Meaning. With this brief presentation, Ece will share eight museum trends and related design methods to rethink how to tackle especially the new kind of audience and phygital context museums have and so inform their short-, mid- and long-term actions accordingly. This webinar aims to touch on fundamental questions that are not focused on defining an ideological museum of the future or the future of digital technologies per se but rather aims to help museum-leaders and workers reflect on the meaningful future for their museums.

Ece holds a double Msc. in the area of Service Design and a PhD in Design for Cultural Heritage.

Throughout her career, Ece has collaborated with international design consultancies (among others Frog design, Fjord, EPAM Continuum and FFForward). She has been a public speaker at museum conferences (among others We are Museums 2018, MuseWeb 2019 and MuseumDigit 2019). In 2017, Ece founded Jüniör, a hyper-specialised design consultancy in service of innovation for the cultural sector.
