Museums and Chill is available on Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Apple Podcast!
In this new episode of Museums and Chill, we invite you to an insightful exploration into the translation of the ICOM Museum definition into two Mayan variations. We also delve into the complex process of linguistic adaption.
Additionally, we learn about the profound challenges faced by indigenous communities in the realm of museums, particularly concerning the preservation and representation of their languages and cultural heritage. Often marginalized, these communities are frequently overlooked in decisions pertaining to linguistic and cultural matters within museum spaces.
