<p>How can museums create connection in an increasingly divided world?</p><p>For this special International Museum Day episode of Museums and Chill – The ICOM Podcast, we visited Queer Britain in London to speak with Andrew Given, Director of Queer Britain, about the evolving role of museums today and the responsibilities cultural institutions hold within their communities.</p><p>Recorded as part of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://icom.museum/en/news/museums-uniting-a-divided-world/">International Museum Day 2026</a> and during the celebrations of ICOM’s 80th anniversary, this episode engages directly with this year’s theme: “Museums Uniting a Divided World.”</p><p>In a time marked by social fragmentation, polarisation, and unequal access to culture and knowledge, museums are increasingly being asked to act as spaces of dialogue, inclusion, and belonging. This conversation explores how Queer Britain approaches these questions through programme-making, community engagement, and institutional leadership.</p><p>As the UK’s first national LGBTQ+ museum, Queer Britain offers an important perspective on the global conversations shaping museums today — from representation and participation to public purpose and institutional responsibility.</p><p>Welcome back and we hope you enjoy this conversation with Andrew Given!</p><p><strong>This episode's guest</strong></p><p><strong>Andrew Given</strong> is the Chief Executive of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://queerbritain.org.uk/">Queer Britain</a>, the national LGBTQ+ museum, based in Kings Cross, London.

He is Deputy Chair of Tara Theatre, a company championing South Asian voices and artists, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and a Global Arts Leadership Fellow with the DeVos Institute in Washington DC. Before working in the arts, Andrew taught KS3, GCSE and A-level music within secondary schools in Liverpool and London.</p><p><strong>This episode's host</strong></p><p><strong>Anapaula García Soto</strong> is a Communications Coordinator at the International Council of Museums Secretariat in Paris, and producer and host of the ICOM podcast Museums and Chill.

El museo que cuenta la historia de las mujeres
<p><strong>¿Qué historias siguen faltando en los museos?</strong> </p><p>En todo el mundo, los museos reflexionan cada vez más sobre las narrativas que presentan y aquellas que históricamente han quedado fuera. A medida que las instituciones replantean su papel en la sociedad, las cuestiones de representación, inclusión y responsabilidad social se vuelven centrales en la práctica museística. </p><p>Como parte de las reflexiones globales que tienen lugar a lo largo de marzo, tras la conmemoración del<strong> Día Internacional de la Mujer</strong>, este episodio de Museums and Chill – El pódcast del ICOM explora estas preguntas a través de una conversación con la historiadora mexicana <strong>Patricia Galeana</strong>, fundadora del <strong>Museo de la Mujer: un museo dedicado a hacer visibles a las mujeres.</strong> </p><p>Inaugurado en 2011 en la Ciudad de México, el <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://museodelamujer.org.mx/">Museo de la Mujer </a>es el primer museo en el país dedicado a la historia de las mujeres. Concebido a mediados de la década de 1990, el proyecto surgió de una necesidad clara: atender la ausencia de las experiencias de las mujeres en las narrativas históricas dominantes. </p><p>Más allá de sus exposiciones, el museo funciona también como un espacio de diálogo, educación y reflexión, ofreciendo conferencias, talleres y programas públicos que abordan debates actuales sobre igualdad de género y derechos humanos. </p><p><strong>SOBRE MUSEUMS AND CHILL</strong> </p><p><strong>Museums and Chill </strong>es el podcast oficial de ICOM y ofrece un espacio para que profesionales y pensadores del ámbito museístico de todo el mundo reflexionen sobre las ideas, prácticas y desafíos que dan forma a los museos en la actualidad.

En reconocimiento a su enfoque editorial y su impacto, el podcast fue nominado a un <strong>European Excellence Award en 2024</strong>. </p><p><strong>INVITADO DE ESTE EPISODIO</strong> </p><p><strong>Patricia Galeana</strong> es una historiadora, académica y diplomática mexicana especializada en historia de México, derechos humanos y estudios de las mujeres. Es profesora en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) y ha sido autora y coordinadora de numerosas publicaciones sobre historia política y la historia de las mujeres. Es la fundadora y directora del Museo de la Mujer. </p><p><strong>LA ANFITRIONA DE ESTE EPISODIO</strong> </p><p><strong>Anapaula García Soto</strong> es Coordinadora de Comunicación en la Secretaría del Consejo Internacional de Museos (ICOM) en París, y productora y conductora del podcast de ICOM Museums and Chill.

Designing Regenerative Museums
<p><strong>If we imagine a truly regenerative museum in the future, what might it feel like to walk into that space?</strong></p><p>We recorded a series of episodes for a special series of Museums and Chill – The ICOM Podcast from ICOM Dubai 2025, a moment where museum thinkers come together to reflect on the role of museums in a changing world.</p><p>This episode engages with two of the Conference’s key sub-themes: <strong>New Technologies and Intangible Heritage.</strong></p><p>As museums navigate rapid technological transformation alongside shifting social, environmental, and demographic realities, questions around innovation, responsibility, and cultural continuity are becoming increasingly central. This conversation explores how museums can embrace new technologies to enhance creation, preservation, learning, and engagement, while safeguarding the integrity and authenticity of intangible heritage. It reflects on how institutions can integrate digital advancement thoughtfully, not only to improve operations and audience experiences, but to ensure that living traditions, knowledge systems, and cultural expressions remain meaningful and resilient within rapidly evolving communities.</p><p>Every three years, museum professionals gather at the ICOM General Conference to listen, to question, and to exchange ideas. Across these conversations, we explore how museums are evolving, how responsibilities are shifting, and how culture continues to connect communities around the world.</p><p>Join us while we discover how regenerative thinking goes beyond reducing impact, toward restoring ecosystems, strengthening communities, and reshaping institutional mindsets with <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://theotherdada.com/en/about#founder">Adib Dada.</a></p><p><strong>This episode's guest</strong></p><p><strong>Adib Dada</strong> is an internationally recognized regenerative advisor, environmental architect, and founder of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://theotherdada.com/en/">theOtherDada (tOD)</a>, an advisory and architecture practice, pioneering nature-based design rooted in biomimicry and systems thinking.
