A three-day conference with a large group of speakers brings with it a wealth of interesting information, new and different perspectives, opinions and ways of experiencing the same topic that take some time to metabolise.

Many of the arguments brought to the stage by the various speakers, many examples and projects presented, now form an interesting and stimulating basis for starting some in-depth studies on the topics discussed: artificial intelligence, the role of museums, the role of art as a tool for change, the role of the media in critical situations, and the perception of people in all this.

A path that we will start here, on Venipedia, as soon as we have identified the narrative thread to hold it all together.

In the meantime, we like to share some of the statements that struck us the most:

"Art can help build common ground for social change."
"Art can build your personal language."
- Adama Sanneh

"Many people use art, truth and culture to create justice."
"I believe that art and culture is a powerful factor for social change."
- Bryan Stevenson

"It is easy to dismiss aseptic news. Not when it brings humanity."
- Venya Brykalin

"Museums are the safest places to confront in."
- Sandra Jackson-Dumont

"Museums are not newspapers (newspapers)."
- Wim Pijbes

"Art works to improve the human condition."
- Sean Scully
