CICANT announces the event “Museums Come to Lusófona / Lusófona Goes to the Museums: Exploring, Reimagining, and Sharing Cultural Heritage with Digital (and Analog) Tools”, taking place on 30 May 2025.
This initiative aims to foster collaboration between Portuguese museums and Lusófona University, creating new opportunities for innovative partnerships. The session is open to all faculty and students from all academic cycles of the university, with a special focus on the Department of Communication, Arts and Information Technologies (DCAM) and the Department of Film and Media Arts (DCC).
Invited museums will briefly introduce their institutions and present proposals for collaboration with Lusófona, inspiring new synergies between academia and the museum sector.
A key highlight of the event is the official launch of the CICANT Crea-Heritage Lab, a new laboratory dedicated to innovative promotion of cultural heritage, combining digital and analog approaches.
