Welcome to the Balkan Museum Network annual conference!
After inspiring and stimulating meetings we have had in Sarajevo,
Tirana, Novi Sad, Shkoder and Prishtina, we were very excited to
organize the conference in Thessaloniki, yet another great Balkan
cultural setting. Being here means not just the opportunity to
(re)discover the Thessaloniki museum landscape, or to learn about the
efforts of museum professionals in the region, being here signifies that
the Network had grown and has members from numerous new places
than initial eleven.
In the following three intensive days, three keynote speakers and
twenty six facilitators will address various important topics, structured
in lectures, workshops, panel discussions and networking sessions.
They are offering their knowledge and skills or new approaches and
best practices to support us in becoming more passionate in our work,
to expand our horizons and make our institutions more relevant,
inclusive and accessible to all.
With your contribution and active participation, we expect that the
annual conference of the Balkan Museum Network will continue to be
the hub of motivating and energizing ideas.

This year is the European Year of Cultural Heritage and we are very
proud that our Network is one of valuable actors in promoting both
importance of heritage and importance of common work of heritage
professionals. We are very thankful to the Stavros Niarchos
Foundation for recognizing our activities and for funding the
conference.
I wish to thank as well out host museums in Thessaloniki, especially
Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art and all the individuals that

Working for MOMus: the new vision
for visual arts in ThessalonikiThouli Misirloglou, Director of the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art
/ Maria Tsantsanoglou, Director of the State Museum of Contemporary Art
Thessaloniki has the privilege of having two museums of contemporary art: the
Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art (MMCA), founded in 1979 by citizens, and
the State Museum of Contemporary Art (SMCA), founded in 1997 by the Greek state.
The two museums, with all their branches and departments, are about to form a new
ambitious institution, the Metropolitan Organization of Museums of Visual Arts of
Thessaloniki. The speakers will refer to the history of each museum up to now and will
share with the participants the vision of MOMus.
Parallel workshops session 1Discussing the European Identity
Sofia Trouli
The workshop is based on the educational program: What is Europe for you; inspired by
the exhibition Critical Archives III: Identities. Europe: the faces and the territory*.
During the workshop we will study photos of selected artworks from the exhibition,
using the routines of artful thinking and playful techniques in the museum education.
The aim of the workshop is to show how we can approach difficult issues such as the
potential of a common European identity and the procedure of European
transformation in a museum. We focus more on developing self-reflection and
dialogue, fostering critical thinking through artful thinking and eliciting new questions
on the issue being discussed. The aim of the workshop is to learn by doing, how we
canapproach issues such as the question of the complexity of the European identity in
a museum of contemporary art.
In the first stage of the workshop we will approach the question what is Europe for us
following with the photos of the selected artworks from the exhibition and a
presentation. We will approach each artwork using a different activity inspired by artful
thinking routines or museum education technique and discuss the notion of European
territory and European identity. In the third stage we aim to create an artwork related to
our identity as citizens of the Balkans and of Europe
*The exhibition took place at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Crete, in Rethimno, from
December 20th 2017 until March 10th 2018 and was curated by Maria Maragkou, the
director of the Museum and Pavlos Fysakis, Yorgos Karailias and Dimitris Kechris, members
of the non-profit cultural organization KOLEKTIV8.
D3C: Cities on the Move - post-Ottoman
(common, collaboration, co-production)
Igor Stepančić
“At the end of World War I, several new nation states emerged on the ruins of the
Ottoman Empire. This exhibition looks at four cities which were deeply affected by this
process: Istanbul and Ankara in the Republic of Turkey, Belgrade and Sarajevo in the
Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Through the lens of local press photographers, we explore
how the new elites rebuilt the city centres to represent the values of their rule, how
nationalism and interwar 'Zeitgeist' shaped modern citizens through sport, dress, and
modern behaviour, and how everyday life continued in the old trade quarters as if
(almost) nothing ever had happened.”
The workshop focuses on the exhibition CITIES ON THE MOVE – POST-OTTOMAN*
that is currently touring the Balkan region. Focus of this workshop is on showing how
shared heritage of the Ottoman rule can be presented and understood in the Balkans,
being bold and yet keeping it from all kinds of political, ideological and nationalistic
interpretations. Also it tells a story of participation, collaboration and co production
capabilities in the region. Introductory part of the session will show how the exhibition was made and co-
produced, while the second part will be focused on active participation of attendees
who will discuss different topics related to the production of the exhibition, which will
be later connected in the third part of the workshop. The main goal of the workshop is
to show that shared effort, right from the initial idea to the end result is a key to
asuccessful exhibition.
*The exhibition CITIES ON THE MOVE – POST-OTTOMAN was made as a result of
collaboration between University of Basel, Museum of Yugoslavia in Belgrade, Mehmed
Akšamija photographer and professor from Sarajevo, Blueprint design studio from
Belgrade and many others.

FUTURE HERITAGE 2218, for Brave and those Willing to Play!Andrej Bereta
The setup is located 200 years in the future, and exhibition follows the story about
cultural habits of people on Earth in late XX century. “The audience“ is as diverse as
possible- different future- background, cultures and mostly without deep knowledge
about exhibitions’ topic. This workshop is about possibilities to create narratives for
future heritage, based on the facts about artifacts, possibilities for display of
exhibition, dedicated to various types of audience. It is also about awareness of
intrinsic values and how are they constructed in a particular historical context.
Keywords: heritage- how do we define meaning; importance of quality of collaboration
of different experts; various types of audience’ approach; shaping narrative.
A Hundred and One Ways to Remove Disabling
Barriers at Your Museum
Michèle Taylor
This workshop will present examples from across the world, with plenty of pictures.
Participants will see examples of barriers in museums and exhibitions that continue to
disabled visitors and staff, and examples of how barriers have been removed - either at
the design stage or later on during a remodeling of the space. During the presentation,
Michèle will analyse the design and build factors that create barriers, and draw
attention to simple and cheap solutions to encourage participants to think about their
own museums. You will come away with practical ideas to remove some of the barriers
that make it difficult for Deaf and disabled people to know about, visit your museum
and make the most of your museum. You will have the chance to draw up a short term
action plan with realistic steps you can take to implement change.
The aims of this session are to explain the nature of disabling barriers by using actual
examples, to support participants to recognise disabling barriers and to give
participants the chance to plan to remove disabling barriers at their own institutions.
12
Heritage and Activism
Should museums play an activist role? Should they take stance on matters like social
inequality, lack of sustainability, and violation of human rights? In this session it will be
argued that activism is part of the museums’ social and educational role. Given the
broad social framework of global economic instability, armed conflicts, increasing
refugee flows and divisive and xenophobic discourses about close and distant
“Others”, museums face unprecedented challenges and are called to assume new
responsibilities and action that can influence social change. Examples of international
and Greek museums embracing relevant issues will be explored, whereas the focus
will be given on interesting and innovative ways museums have proposed in order to
address refugeeism, displacement and forced migration.
Panel session
Project Slamming& Presenting Project Slamming & Presenting is an opportunity to present, test and verify your
projects using "audience checking" techniques. The session will consist of poster
presentation and Project Slams. The representatives of museums present activity of
their choice through a poster explaining the content to the curious minds of other
participants. Remember to have fun and learn a lot about the interesting ideas that are
presented! “Hmmm maybe we could do something similar together in the future....?!.
Brave, quick and competitive "poster presenters" would also have the opportunity to
give 5-8 minutes presentation of their projects, good examples related to conference
themes... Let us connect, support and learn from/with each other. Support your
favorite initiative and poster by giving them your point for the “The Best Poster Award".

How to Recreate the Lost Sense of Place? Community
Museums and Interpretation of (In)Tangible Heritage
Dragana Lucija Ratković Aydemir
Combining multidisciplinary approach, teamwork and competence in the area of
museology and ecomuseology, cultural management, interpretation and presentation
of heritage and the development of visitor experiences, inspired ideas from the field of
culture and tourism become economically viable and high-quality projects, promoters
of knowledge and progress. Through the examples realized in Croatia in the last ten
years, participants will become acquainted with key themes in the field of
interpretation, presentation and sustainable developmental use of heritage, especially
intangible, and how museums can be the carriers and promoters of innovation and
progress in the communities in which they operate.
Day 02Keynote
Curatorial Practice -
Jewish Heritage: a Shared Heritage of the Balkans
Christina Meri and Eva Koppen
The workshop will look into Jewish heritage across the Balkans. Most of the Balkan
Jews were descendants of refugees from Portugal and Spain, who had settled in the
Ottoman Empire after 1492 and kept a clear dominance throughout the region.
Participants will be invited to bring examples of questionable objects from their own
museum collections to the workshop for interactive identification with the group. The
workshop will provide practical tools for interpretation of Jewish objects in non-
Jewish museums on the Balkans.

Dealing with the Communist Past
Etleva Demollari
Almost 27 years after the fall of communism, fewer and fewer people in Albania have
any personal experience with the communist era and with the life at that time. They rely
on the information provided by their parents or grandparents as well as through the
media and education. Although the studies show substantial deficits in this matter the
power of authentic memory sites offers a unique learning opportunity to deepen the
understanding of our common past.
In Albania, many former prisons and other facilities related to the tragic memory of a
whole generation are still preserved. Some of them are transformed into museums,
such as the the newest museum in Albania - the National Museum of Secret
Surveillance “House of Leaves". This museum is located in a building that served as
the headquarters of the Sigurimi, the secret service agency operating throughout the
long dictatorship of Enver Hoxha.
At this workshop we will discuss different approaches to dealing with the past in
Albania and present specific examples such as opening of National Museum of Secret
Surveillance, “The House of Leaves" and the National History Museum. The second
part of the workshop will discuss how to motivate and teach young people to better
understand the dictatorship.
Valuation of Museum Objects -
the First Step in Heritage Interpretation
Katarina Zivanovic and Lidija Milasinovic
Values and meanings attached to heritage are culturally contingent and depend on the
time, space and context. Therefore, heritage may have different meanings for different
stakeholders and values may compete and change over time. Traditional models of
accessing values heavily rely on mono-disciplinary professional assessment and
notions. New principles use value assessment in much broader terms, to include and
understand the context and socio-cultural, political and economic aspects related to.
Considering this, the workshop represents the implementation of a methodology that
evaluates the value of museum heritage, which represents the first phase in the
interpretation of heritage. The methodology applies to the museum objects and it is
established on the basis of the methodology developed within the framework of the
regional project Ljubljana Process - Rehabilitating Our Common Cultural Heritage
15
(Živanović K. and Kisić V. (2014) Toolkit for Heritage Management Plan Development:
rehabilitation our common heritage, Evropa Nostra Srbija, Belgrade).The workshop will
consist of two parts: the first part will be theoretical and the second will be practical -
during the discussion all participants will evaluate proposed examples and discuss
them.
During the workshop we will learn how to create Statement of Significance as sum of a
different values: scientific (archaeological, ethnological, historical, anthropological,
technical), aesthetic (artistic, beauty), cultural (symbolic, spiritual, associative),
uniqueness (authenticity, integrity), educational (learning opportunities),
local/community (relation to local identity, sense of belonging, connection, beliefs,
communal pride) and economic (market, attractiveness for tourism).
Developing New Audiences using
Agile Methodologies
Daniel Weiss
The Galerija Matice srpske from Novi Sad example of two workshops with more
specific topics related to migration issues in the Serbian environment. The questions
and problems we wanted young people to expose to, were: 1. What are the
consequences of choices and decisions young people make; by leaving the country in
seeking a better life and education? 2. How can the media and visual media in
particular influence opinions and views about the historical and contemporary issues
of migration. The objectives of the workshop are learning about the ways to develop
new Museums audiences by changing the way museum’s collection are presented to
Panel session / debateWhat is Balkan Heritage?
The panelists will present different institutions, programmes and exhibitions that
disclose and discuss the Balkan heritage in a wider European context. The
conversation will take us from the story behind the establishment of the House of
European History, to the making of the exhibition "Shared Sacred Sites" that talks
about the religious coexistence; The curatorial process of the “Imagining the Balkans,
16
Identities and Memory in the long 19th century” exhibition and The European Heritage
Days held throughout Europe in September each year.
Networking SessionGathering in thematic corners the networking session is the time for active
communication among the participants. Guided conversations are dedicated to an
aspect of the museum work that and will resonate with your work. At his session we
will ask and answer questions, network, exchange ideas, thoughts, experience, current
practices and possible solutions to the problems…
17
Day 03Keynote
Parallel session 3The Enquiring Museum and the Cat Called Democracy
Jenny Anghelikie Papasotiriou
What is identity, what are 'facts' and what do museums have to do with resistance?
Heritage triggers questions and generates meaning. In this workshop, we will share
tools from the analytical philosophy, philosophy of the mind, political philosophy and
theory of knowledge to develop ways for interrogating objects but also for letting the
objects interrogate us. The proposed activity operates on the premise that museums
are essentially the spaces of questioning and critical engagement.
Lobbying for Cultural Heritage in Europe
Sneška Quaedvlieg-Mihailović
The European Year of Cultural Heritage is a result of an effective lobbying by a large
range of heritage stakeholders. Europa Nostra has played a key role in this process as a
Voice of Cultural Heritage in Europe and as a coordinator of the European Heritage
Alliance 3.3. The speaker will share with Conference participants her extensive
lobbying experience at European level ahead of the first ever European Cultural
Heritage Summit which will take place in Berlin on 18-24 June 2018 and in the light of
the current political momentum for a more ambitious EU Agenda and Action Plan for
Cultural Heritage. She will also engage in a conversation with the audience about the
specific lobbying needs, objectives and tools for the museums and other heritage
stakeholders in the the Balkans and the wider region of South-Eastern Europe

From the Streets to UNESCO:
The Story of Natural Heritage Activism in
Rosia Montana that Took Over the World
Eliza Marin
Rosia Montana now stands for the grassroots fight of the civil society to protect its
2000 years' cultural landscape. The role of activism, in this context, is to unite
international experts, institutions, organizations and civil society to safeguard its
heritage and also to reevaluate their own position for social change. Why museums
have the responsibility to actively participate in a more engaged practice linking their
local communities concerns with global one, will be the main question.
Loving Museum
Nora Prekazi HotiMuseum of Mitrovica (MoM) with six decades of existence, since 2009 is using a
building that was known as “Yugoslavian Army House”. The workshop will share the
story on how the love of the professional staff is transforming a building that was not
made for museum into an active museum. With several projects during these last
year’s MoM is transforming slowly but surely changing the shape of how cultural
heritage and objects can be interpreted. Project “Mitro I love you” is playing a crucial
role on city and museum brand development by making communities part of the story
and by inspiring them for a change.heritage and objects can be interpreted. Project
“Mitro I love you” is playing a crucial role on city and museum brand development by
making communities part of the story and by inspiring them for a change.
Access Surveys: a Tool for Change
Etleva Demollari, Irena Ružin and Artemis Stamatelou
Nowadays more and more museums choose to evaluate how accessible they are to
disabled people. Starting from the social model of disability, museums consider
access surveys or access audits as a necessary process to understand what they
already do well and what they need to improve, in order to become barrier-free
environments for all. By initiating an access survey, museums acquire a useful tool for
change that will help staff to increase their understanding of various physical, sensory,
attitudinal, intellectual and cultural barriers, as well as to prioritise decisions and
actions that will improve access.
19
The overall aim of the workshop is to discover the challenges and opportunities in this
process by focusing on the following issues:
� What are the reasons to carry out an access survey?
� Who it is intended for?
� What an access survey should cover?
� What are the benefits and outcomes of the survey?
� What to consider when collaborating with an access consultant?
� How should you get started?
The workshop is facilitated by 4 members of the Balkan Museum Access Group
(BMAG) that have recently undertook the mission to survey member museums of the
Balkan Museum Network, within the framework of the project “Stories of the Balkans –
Building capacity of museum professionals in interpretation and access to museums”
funded by Headley Trust (UK). Through interactive presentation and sharing of
experience, games and teamwork the participants in the workshop will have the
opportunity to reflect and discover by themselves the benefits of an access survey and
the possibilities it creates towards an accessible and participatory museum.

Transforming Future Museums: the Power of Networks
Chrysa Zarkali
Museums in Greece, as in the rest of Europe, are experiencing rapid change and face
multiple challenges. These changes and challenges increase the need to train a new
generation of museum leaders. In response to this need, the British Council has
launched Transforming Future Museums (January 2016–July 2018) supported by
Stavros Niarchos foundation, an intensive professional development programme
designed to boost the museum and heritage sector in Greece by enabling it to respond
to the challenges and possibilities of a new era. A core part of the programme is the
Museum Professionals Network. Our Transforming Future Museums programme has
kick-started the creation of the Museum Professionals Network: a peer-focused
network that will operate as a space to improve knowledge sharing, explore
unexpected fields and modes of collaboration, and foster peer-to-peer consultation.
The network aspires to empower and engage museum professionals in a journey of
personal and collective professional development for the future well-being of
museums and their people. Networking has long been recognised as a powerful tool
for business people and professionals. Knowing more people gives you greater
access, facilitates the sharing of information, and makes it easier to connect with like-
minded professionals. Our workshop is aiming to focus on the power of networks in
both professional and personal development and in creating strong working
relationships amongst institutions and individual professionals.
A Touch of History! Working Together
Towards Accessibility
Marinos Kachrilas
“A Touch of History!” is the new educational project of the National Historical Museum
of Greece (NHM) designed in collaboration with the Lighthouse for the Blind. The NHM,
since its foundation, is aware of its mission to be accessible and, given the restrictions
of its historic building, it constantly explores ways to achieve this, both inside and
21
beyond its buildings physically and digitally, through long-term collaborations with
cultural, educational and social partners.
In this framework, the aim of the project is to improve museum access to blind and
partially sighted people. It includes a Touch Tour structured around 15 original objects
in the permanent exhibition; handling sessions based on original objects, tactile
copies and audio exhibits; and accessible information in Braille and large font. This
multimodal approach is chosen to inspire exploratory learning and foster accessibility
for all. The social model of disability and active involvement of all participating parties
is at the heart of this process through the consultation provided by blind and partially
sighted people and their contribution as co-creators of the project activities.
The workshop offers a presentation of the concept, methodological concerns and
results of the project with focus on the advanced communication means that have
been deployed. It will also give the opportunity to participants to practice hands-on
multi-sensory interpretation by handling tactile collections of historical objects. They
will also be encouraged to share their experience on the implementation and
sustainability of collaborative projects that promote accessibility and diversity.
Roman Hairstyles Workshop
in the Museum of Srem
Jasmina Davidović and Sanja Samardžija
The workshop consist of storytelling part with explanation of the specifics of the
Roman women hairstyles and the process of making them. The workshop will show
images of hairstyles from the Museum collections (hairstyles from the stone
monuments, coins - representations on coins are done in cooperation with the curator
of the numismatic collection. Some practical demonstrations will be done too as a
demonstration of interaction with museum audience.
The Construction of Our Perceptions
Dimitra Sidiropoulou
The general idea is to rethink how history is written through the years, how identities
and memory is formulated and the role of museums and cultural institutions around
these issues. Museums and cultural institutions by developing a self-criticism about
their role around these issues can open a dialogue with their communities on how they
could cooperate in order to clarify the way our perceptions about the past, reality,
identity are build, the role of old and new media (photograph, cinema, digital media) in
22
this procedure. The everyday interest of the issue may encourage people of all
communities to feel able and free to participate and their opinion valued. At the same
ground, the opinions of particular communities (deaf, blind people) can not only be
included but particularly valued.
As every year, “Meet, See, Do” conference is an opportunity for members of the BMN
(representatives of museum members and individual members) to meet and discuss
what has been done in the last year and what are the plans for the forthcoming period.
Dear members, looking forward to discuss with you plans and ideas for the future of
the Balkan Museum Network. This session is for everyone.
After the Assembly meeting, the award for “The Best Craft-based Museum Souvenir of
2017” will be given to the representative of the winning museum. A joint photo of all the
participants will follow.
