You are invited to attend the third annual Museums Australia 1996
conference "Power and Empowerment" which will be held over 4 days from
October 30 - November 2 in Sydney, Australia.
Museums operate within complex power relationships - this conference
sets out to identify and unravel many of the important issues which
are associated with these dynamics by focusing on 3 themes:
* politics poeple and power
* revisiting the museum
* towards the new millenium
It will look at how power operates in relation to criticism, issues
such as reconciliation with Indigenous Australia, social change, local
communities and a rapidly changing technological environemnt.
An exciting program featuring international and Australian speakers,
as well as a lively and informal socila program has been planned.
