MUSEUM YET TO BE
Museum of Contemporary Art of Montenegro
11 December 2025, 19:00
Museum Yet to Be is an international exhibition imagining museums as fluid, evolving spaces that reflect and respond to the restless currents of contemporary society.
Amid political ruptures, never-ending violence and shifting socio-economic landscapes, the exhibition invites reflection on ethical dimensions and the often-questioned standards of institutional integrity, illuminating paths that remain obscured or forgotten.
It dreams of a world shaped by fairness, inviting us to reconsider governance models within institutions, practice active listening within museum communities, and to gently navigate our changing contexts without sacrificing ethical clarity. It questions how to engage intimately with the emancipatory legacies of the past, how we might thoughtfully historicize our present, and how such practices can shape and inspire current thoughts and actions for futures.
Featuring international contemporary artists, the exhibition transforms the museum into a contact zone, a site where meanings are reshaped, values redefined, and ethical futures envisioned. Artists participating in this exhibition disrupt institutionalized perspectives, challenge dominant historical narratives, and reimagine exhibition practices within contested spaces as acts of repair.
The exhibition also delicately examines the elasticity and relevance of ethical frameworks within diverse social realities, contemplating their potential to guide or even inspire new institutional formations.
Conceived as a space of becoming rather than permanence, Museum Yet to Be operates as an open site where futures are learned, and new solidarities emerge. Here, the museum is not a monument to the past but a rehearsal for what is yet to come.
