Introduction

Digital Dilemmas to guide the Museum’s 2023–2024 programming

The international Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum has selected “digital dilemmas” as the guiding theme for the coming year. Alongside numerous partners from the world of humanitarian action, culture and research, the Museum will explore ideas and techniques that can be applied to to day-to-day life. For its forthcoming programming cycle, it will hold a series of events on digital dilemmas, curated by Valérie Gorin, from the Geneva Center of Humanitarian studies, and Oonagh Murphy, from Goldsmith University.

The launch of the Year of “digital dilemmas” coincides with the publication of “10 ideas for a caring Museum”, a compendium of the lessons learned from the Museum’s Year of Mental Health (2022-2023). The document, published online and written by Marzia Varutti, is the second toolkit we published.
