As part of this international collaborative Creative Europe, co-funded project the Research Center for Material Culture will host a set of workshops.
It is this project as a whole and this event in particular's hope that it will open museums up to contribute more critically
to how we understand the brutal legacies of colonialism on our earth and
learn to better pay attention to the knowlege that peoples the world over
have nurtured, adapted, and applied to dealing with such violence. Indeed, our hope is to fashion more caring and careful museum
practices.
The conference will consist of both closed and public events and panels. The program is below and will be updated as we go along....
