Open GLAM Night (5 Sept, Evening)

On the eve of the hackathon, we invite you to celebrate with us the Open GLAM Night at Lucerne Neubad, with contributions from Mexican artists, a participatory performance of the Afro-Cuban artist Ivonne Gonzalez, and a kaleidoscope of “remarkable” Lucernese people.

The first part of the event will be live-streamed to one of the cinemas of the Complejo Cultural of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP), our Mexican partner organization.

The OpenGLAM Night is open to the public and does not require registration. So don't hesitate to bring your friends and loved ones and introduce them to the world of OpenGLAM (detailed program).
