GLAMhack 24 "On the Move"
Event program | Backboard app
Throughout history, people have left their homes for a variety of reasons and have found themselves in faraway places. This has led to encounters with foreign lands, their inhabitants, their customs, their flora and fauna. Cultural heritage collections are full of artifacts resulting from and bearing witness to those people “on the move”: archival records, travel reports, audiovisual documents, object collections, oral histories etc. These artifacts weave an invisible web between people and places, between events and stories being told about them, between heritage collections and scholars, and between the people of every generation making sense of them – through artistic creation, through the (de-)construction of collective memories, or by exploiting them in the pursuit of political or economic interests.
The thematic focus is intended as a source of inspiration; hackathon participants are free to work on other topics related to cultural heritage.
GLAMhack24 will be held under a friendly space policy, ensuring a positive and inclusive environment for all participants. This policy emphasizes respect and prohibits harassment based on gender, sexual orientation, disability, appearance, race, religion, or any other characteristic. Attendees are expected to comply with these guidelines to maintain a welcoming and constructive atmosphere throughout the event. More information about the friendly space policy can be found here.
