Participative museum design

DOMiD, the documentation center and museum on migration in Germany, will open the Museum Selma, a museum on migration in Germany, in Cologne-Kalk in 2029. The “DOMiDLabs: Labs for Participatory Museum Design” project, funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation, was set up to test how urban society can participate in the museum and contribute to its future design. People came together in four labs with the aim of developing design ideas on how encounters are possible in museums and what an exhibition that responds to current social issues could look like.
Together with the DOMiDLabs team, we developed the concept, design and implementation of the final publication on the labs and the resulting learnings.
