Call for Testimonials
Museum Professionals Testimonials
The Museums Association of the Caribbean (MAC) invites you to share your experiences at this present moment. The pandemic has transformed our lives as museum and cultural heritage professionals. We are witnesses to and participants in the changes to our field caused by the closures of our sites, the lockdowns and the gradual re-openings of both under entirely new and experimental conditions. What have been our challenges? What are our fears? How are we rising to meet our present circumstances?
It is vital that we document the interruptions and disruptions in our profession and in our region, for the future record and to bolster ongoing and future cases of support for our institutions collectively and individually. MAC will share these collected stories on our website, on social media and with you to create awareness of the collective impact of Covid-19 on our field.
