The text ‘Dialogs on Museum Resilience’ was stage managed by Diane Drubay, the founder of the We Are Museums’ think tank, in collaboration with Annesofie Norn of the Museum for the United Nations – UN Live, and Sandra Debono from the University of Malta. The participants in the four dialogs are: Milena Jokanović from the University of Belgrade in Serbia; Julie Decker, Director of the Anchorage Museum in Alaska; Cristina Lleras, a freelance curator who works for the Museum of Bogota in Colombia; Julie Rokkjaer Birch at the time the Director of what was then the Women’s Museum of Denmark; Kristin Alford, Director of the Museum of Discovery in Australia; and Lindsey McEwen, head of the Centre for Water, Communities and Resilience in the Department of Geography and Environmental Management at the University of the West of England. The contribution reflects the fact that it was written at the peak of the global COVID- 19 crisis but explores issues that are still current. In the contribution, which comprises four conversations, the conversational partners aim to explore and identify different forms of resilience that have matured and developed within what they call the ‘museum ecosystem’, especially in the so-called ‘peripheries’ of global politics.
