We invite the participation of individuals and institutions from both ‘sending’ and ‘receiving’ societies to engage in discussions on a wide range of topics related to the return of heritage, spiritual and religious patrimonies, covering both philosophical and practical aspects.
We welcome participation and presentations from diverse fields, including activism, scholarship, journalism, archiving, government administration, museum administration, policing, international agencies, community groups, media and curators.
The Conference seeks participation from both Global South and North, including from countries that have suffered greatly such as Cambodia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Greece, India, Iraq, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, Thailand and Zimbabwe.
We also seek representation from nations with less prominent repatriation campaigns, such as Pakistan, as well as from activists focused on the return of indigenous heritage, including native communities across the continent, from Siberia to the Sahel, Myanmar and Mongolia to the Tibetan Autonomous Region.
Additionally, we invite museum and auction houses administrators, investigative journalists, social scientists, curators and art scholars to participate in constructive dialogue for heritage repatriation.
