Museums are true agents of change and have the potential to lead the way in driving positive, global action.

 At “THE TIME IS NOW / Museums as agents of change” (part of the UN75 dialogues presented in partnership with Culturunners and WCPUN and held during the world’s first virtual United Nations General Assembly), our CEO, Molly Voss Fannon, was joined in conversation by a remarkable and inspiring group of pioneering leaders in museum practice, across multiple time zones: George Okello Abungu (formerly of National Museums of Kenya), Bonita Bennett (formerly of District Six Museum, South Africa), Courtney Johnston (Te Papa, New Zealand), Frances Morris (Tate Modern, UK), Andrés Roldán (Parque Explora, Colombia) and Elizabeth Silkes (International Coalition of Sites of Conscience).

 This inspiring 90-minute conversation brought forward extraordinary examples of how museums are becoming places of action, and how they are leading change with optimism and innovation.
