In 2005 the Museo de la Palabra y la Imagen (the Museum of Words and Images) in San Salvador, El Salvador organises a series of cultural activities including exhibitions, publications and discussions around the subject of Truth and Reconciliation.
By focusing on the recent cultural history of El Salvador, the museum attempts to enhance the body of knowledge on this subject in El Salvador. Important information regarding this subject such as manuscripts, objects, photographs, film, video and works of art are added to the museum’s collection.
With the aim of encouraging worldwide cultural debate, the Prince Claus Fund organises and supports events around the world to facilitate intercultural exchange. These events include conferences, lectures, meetings and exhibitions.
The results of these exchange events are presented to a wider, international audience in the form of articles, books and websites.
These exchange events provide a creative environment in which new approaches can be presented and new contributors can become engaged in the debate. The events also serve as a guide to the Prince Claus Fund in its endeavours in the field of culture and development.
