On Wednesday 7th December, we held the fourth and final event in our UnMuseum Culture & Heritage Programme autumn events. I Am Witness: The Role of Testimony in the Reparatory Justice Process. A highly reflexive, conscious dialogue between panellists and the audience, the role of testimony and truth in cultural reparations was elucidated.
Telling Stories
This event ‘Telling Stories,’ included a very rich conversation between audience members and panelists about how the UnMuseum space will look and how its content will be presented. This deep discussion also covered how stories in an UnMuseum space should cover represent histories that are not taught in the mainstream – hidden stories – unexpressed stories.
Digitisation & Disruption
This event ‘Digitisation & Disruption,’ focussed on exploring the opportunities and limitations digitisation in the cultural heritage space with an overarching question: Does digitisation allow us to disrupt the traditional (physical)museum space while navigating issues around copyright and ownership?
