Dear colleagues,
We are living in cities which are becoming more culturally and
linguistically diverse through migration.
In 2015 CAMOC, in its special 10th year anniversary, decided to focus on
migration and its representation in city museums, first by dedicating its
annual conference on the theme and now by partnering with the Open Museum,
Glasgow to organise a special interactive workshop.
The workshop will explore how cities are shaped by arriving communities and
how these communities can get involved in museum work and be assets and
real stakeholders of the museum through reflecting, collecting,
safeguarding and disseminating their stories and life experiences. Through
the opportunity to meet and discuss with people involved in live projects,
the workshop will enable understanding of the step-by-step process of
project development, ethical considerations, overcoming challenges and
measuring impact.
The programme will be hosted by the Open Museum, Glasgow Museum’s community
outreach team and Glasgow Museum’s migration forum – a mix of museum staff,
artists, researchers and voluntary organisations, with their own personal
and professional connections to the theme of migration. A rich mix of
performances, pop up events, speakers and project visits will inspire
honest discussion and reflections which will enable key principles to be
drawn out and shared.
In the link below, you will find more details about the workshop, grant
opportunities and practical information about travel and accommodation in
Glasgow.
