Open Talks: Women within institutions

Pavilion 3 - Arena

With issues of diversity and equity under scrutiny now more than ever, Tony Chambers will lead a lively discussion investigating why many of our major international design museums and cultural institutions have for too long been deprived of a female point of view. Tulga Beyerle, Director of Hamburg Museum of Applied Arts, Alexandra Cunningham, Curator of Contemporary Design at Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum and Lilli Hollein, Director of MAK Wien will discuss their roles, responsibilities and goals to remedy this shameful historical imbalance.
