Fifteenth International Conference on the Inclusive Museum
- 2022 Special Focus—Rethinking the Museum
- 22-24 April 2022
- Moore College of Art & Design, Philadelphia, USA
The triangulation of BLM, Climate Emergency and the Pandemic has provided an opportunity for us to rethink the ways in which the institution of the museum could become inclusive and continue to transform to become relevant, reflexive and confronting of seamless global realities. Series of surveys and webinars by ICOM, UNESCO and partners at our seminal International Research Network on the Inclusive Museum are charting out inspirational, innovative and resourceful pathways, often untrodden, for us to consider and traverse. As we meet in Philadelphia, leading-edge thinkers will open the floor for researchers presenting their ongoing interrogation of the multivocality and poly dimensional avatars of decolonised and relevant museums in 2022.
The Fifteenth International Conference on the Inclusive Museum featured online only plenary sessions by some of the world's leading thinkers and innovators in the field.
