Working towards justice means daring to be critical – without resorting to division or exclusion. We value the many voices addressing our role and responsibility. We stand with all those working to end the violence, and our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims. We do this in the way most natural to a museum: through art, exhibitions, public programming, and education. This is where our dedication lies. We believe that by continuing this work, the museum remains a space where dialogue is possible – dialogue that can lead to solidarity and new forms of action.
Because we believe in the power of connection, we condemn all acts that violate human rights, glorify violence, or dehumanise others. This is why we continue to create programmes that allow us to come together, share, and imagine a more peaceful world. One such programme is Imagine Peace, an ongoing series in which we discuss racism, the rise of Islamophobia, peace, art, and antisemitism. These gatherings are open to anyone who wants to listen, participate, and help shape a world where justice is not just an ideal but a responsibility that requires effort on a daily base.
Our mission is to foster historical understanding and connection, especially in times of polarisation and pain. As a museum, we remain committed to building an equitable future – one that, in light of our own history, must be anti-colonial. A future where there is no room for violence, racism, or discrimination. A future we aim to help shape, for everyone.
