Workshop: Museums, Migration, and Democracy

Museums, Migration, and Democracy:
Critical Antiracist Perspectives on Collection and Representation of National Cultural Heritage

At a time of democratic backsliding and deepening social division, we warmly invite curators, exhibition producers, museum directors, educators, conservators, and others who work at or with museums to participate in this workshop on the role of museums as spaces of dialogue, critical reflection, and social responsibility. Students of museum studies, archival studies and cultural heritage are also most welcome to register.

The workshop is organized within the framework of Moving Europe – Negotiating Legacies of Migration at the Museum, a European project exploring how museums can engage in the challenges and responsibilities of representing migration in Europe today.

The workshop offers critical perspectives on Europe’s shifting political landscape and examines the role of museums as democratic institutions within multicultural societies shaped by inequality, segregation, and contested narratives of belonging.

Drawing on examples from, among others,
Niclas Järvklo, Deputy Museum Director, Sveriges museum om Förintelsen
Amelie Tham, Creative DIrector, Fisksätra museum

The workshop provides space for joint learning and the exchange of perspectives. It will be held in English - during exchange and work phases in groups, it is of course possible to switch to your preferred language.

Participation is free of charge.

Register by May 15th.
Please unregister if you suddenly realize you can'r come. A No Show Fee of 100 SEK if you don't cancel your registration 24 hours before the workshop starts.
