Hack4OpenGLAM 2021 Dashboard

Hack4OpenGLAM cultural hackathon took place in 2020 and 2021 at the Creative Commons Global Summit. It was arranged by AvoinGLAM (a GLAM working group at Open Knowledge Finland). The event consists of a workshop day, followed by three independent working days during the CC Summit days, and a celebration event after the summit.

What is Hack4OpenGLAM?

Hack4OpenGLAM is a co-creation event for working towards Open Access to cultural heritage. The event brings together content communities, GLAM professionals (including but not limited to Gallerists, Librarians, Archivists and Museum professionals), advocates of open cultural heritage, digital creators, and tools or platform developers – from newcomers to experts – to learn, work, and create with one another.

Knowledge equity

In 2021, Hack4OpenGLAM focused on knowledge equity – highlighting knowledge of individuals, communities, and cultures who have been left out of the spotlight of history, decolonizing cultural historical collections, and acknowledging responsible ways of sharing information online openly.
