And the very symbolic photo is posted with a Creative Commons licence, which is a great feature but too hidden and few #Pixelfed users seem to use it. Also #Mastodon doesn‘t have this option to licence media at all, right? Please correct me if I missed it. If it doesn‘t exist, it seems like a really necessary update?

Will think about to how to formulate proper proposals, #CreativeCommons and #Fediverse have great potential together. Like the Flickr to Wikimedia Commons pipeline in the past.

TheMuseumsLab has launched a website:
https://themuseumslab.org/

„At the core of TheMuseumsLab lies TheMuseumsLab Fellowship, a unique African–European joint learning programme for emerging leaders from Museums, Heritage and Art Institutions, and Cultural Spaces. Founded in 2020, it responds to the need for a new kind of cultural collaboration, one that actively addresses the legacies of colonialism and seeks to build a shared, forward-looking cultural future between the two continents.“
