Join us for  a virtual panel on The Legacy & History of Open Culture on June 16 from 2:30 pm-3:30 pm UTC! In the early 2000s, a handful of trailblazing galleries, libraries, archives, and museums made a radical choice: to digitize their collections and release them freely, without restriction, to anyone in the world. There was no playbook. There was no mandate. There was only a conviction that cultural heritage, the shared memory of humanity, belonged to everyone, and that the internet had made it possible, for the first time, to act on that conviction at scale. Hear about that origin story from a panel of Open Culture experts, featuring Medhavi Gandhi, Merete Sanderhoff, Andrea Wallace, and Giovanna Fontenelle, with opening remarks by Brigitte Vézina and moderated by Dee Harris. https://lnkd.in/gs927sqb
