Creative Study Lab “Creating Shared Futures through Contested Heritages” | PANEL 3

Building plural narratives from contested heritages: dialogues with diasporas and stakeholders

The Museo delle Civiltà hosted on 21 October 2021 the Creative Study Lab Creating Shared Futures through Contested Heritages. The initiative aimed to interrogate the role ethnographic museums play in dealing with difficult memories and in enabling the dissemination of values of social and environmental justice through different participatory and creative processes.

The event was organised within the framework of the project TAKING CARE - Ethnographic and World Cultures Museums as Spaces of Care which explores the connections between ethnographic collections and questions regarding the climate crisis, the Anthropocene and issues related to the afterlives of colonialism (https://takingcareproject.eu/).

International researchers, artists, activists, and experts were invited to present and discuss past or ongoing projects that have created, or intend to create, museum narratives shared with audiences (diasporas, source communities, artists, activists, etc.), starting from contested heritages, difficult memories, colonial legacies.
