Abstract
The Museum of the Commons (MoC) is a 4 year programme developed by the European confederation of contemporary art museums
L’Internationale. The MoC encourages contemporary museums and cultural organisations to act as open source tools for new sustainable
forms of cultural co-creation, contributing to environmental, social and artistic transformation.
For over two centuries, museums have been the custodians of heritage and memory. However, in recent decades, they have become key
spaces of the public sphere in which major challenges are addressed and discussed, such as climate change, social inclusion and equality.
Understanding the cultural sector as an ecosystem formed by organisations of different scales, impacts and target audiences, the MoC
establishes sustainable cooperation between 7 museums, 3 academic institutions, 4 art organisations, and 2 associated partners,
performing specific roles in the art sector across the whole European continent (N, E, S and W). Thus, the MoC contributes to making the arts
ecosystem broader, healthier and more inclusive.
The MoC project is organised in 3 thematic threads: 1) Climate: tackling the questions of environmental sustainability; 2) Situated
organisations: questioning the role of art institutions as spaces of inclusion and diversity; and 3) The past in the present: addressing history
and heritage as tools for social justice. To do so, the museums of the MoC provide the 5 interrelated elements that represent the central core
of their operations as protectors of European heritage and memory: art collections, archives, libraries, audiences and sites. These elements
are the raw materials to be used as common goods by all the partners in order to develop the programme.
The MoC reaches 2 million European citizens by producing 6 exhibitions, 4 artistic assemblies, 5 residency programmes, 6 nomadic schools,
50 workshops, 5 community garden projects, 1 online platform, 3 digital archives and 41 digital publications
