On March 8, 2020, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection closed its doors for 89 days to prevent the spread of Covid-19. On Monday at 6 pm, exactly one year later after the first lockdown and on International Women’s Day, Karole P. B. Vail, director of the museum and granddaughter of Peggy Guggenheim will lead visitors through Palazzo Venier dei Leoni on a guided tour on You Tube.

The virtual visit promises to embrace the themes of INSPIRATION, SUSTAINABILITY and PRESENT which were articulated in a recently launched manifesto for renewal in an effort to continue to listen to and dialogue with the public on site, remotely and on social media.

Against Disappearance:A discussion about trade and culture.

Tue, 9 March 202115:00 – 16:00 CET

We have a complex relationship with cultural heritage. In celebrating its riches, we must also acknowledge the challenges it presents.

For the second in our series of Against Disappearance discussions, we are exploring the different legacies of cultural and commercial exchange.

Trade and culture have always coincided, not always in equity. A consequence of the movement of people, products and commodities across territories, is the migration of different ideas, rites and customs. Across the globe, coastal cities notably hold vestiges of both nourishing and deadly trades. In particular, they reveal how the transportation of enslaved people impacted on the confluence and also the disappearance of cultures.
