We cordially invite you to contribute your cutting-edge research to the international conference Decolonizing Museums and Resignifying Monuments. The event is scheduled to take place in Madrid, Spain, on November 20-22, 2024 at the National University of Distance Education (UNED).
This conference aims to bring together experts from different fields and countries to discuss decolonization processes from various perspectives and experiences. We encourage discussions to be grounded on case studies while also incorporating concepts, frameworks, questions, and arguments from various sectoral and disciplinary perspectives.
The Congress’s main goals are:
- -To promote an informed and interdisciplinary discussion on the decolonization of museums and the resignification of monuments.
-To promote an cross-sectoral dialogue between academics, museologists, museum and memorial workers, cultural managers and mediators, artists and activists.
-To meet, exchange, learn and systematize initiatives of decolonization and resignification in different socio-cultural contexts.
-To facilitate the creation of a critical community on decolonization, made up of academics, cultural managers, museologists and artists, among others.
-To promote academic-social initiatives in this regard.
The deadline for submission is July 15th, 2024.
