DESCRIPTION

The project aims to integrate people with different cultures and languages ​​into the cultural landscapes of Moscow.

Garage Inclusive Programs Department promotes inclusion in museums and other cultural spaces in the capital. It recently ran a training course for guides with migration experience, during which native speakers of other languages studied art history and mediation for six months. Course graduates plan to work with various museums and galleries in Moscow on introducing tours and art mediation in their native languages, which include Armenian, Kyrgyz, Ukrainian, and Uzbek.
