Repatriation Monologues: Panel Discussion at Museum of Vancouver
JOIN US FOR OUR UPCOMING PANEL DISCUSSION EXPLORING THE IMPORTANCE OF REPATRIATING BELONGINGS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY TO INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES
https://museumofvancouver.ca/repatriation
Join us for our upcoming panel discussion exploring the changing perspectives in museum curatorial practices with respect to repatriation and Reconciliation. Moderated by Kate Hennessy (SFU), panelists Lucy Bell (RBCM), Sharon Fortney (MOV), Kwiaahwah Jones (Guest Haida Curator for Haida Now), and Bruce Granville Miller (UBC) will share stories and engage in conversation around the importance of repatriating ancestral belongings and intellectual property to Indigenous communities. Panelists will explore possible strategies and unanswered questions, including addressing the relationship between technology and museums, and the role that digital experiences play in facilitating repatriation — in an effort to address how museums can become better places in the future for communities to share knowledge.
