The conference is meant for knowledge keepers, community leaders, museum workers, artists, activists, and scholars.
They will gather in Winnipeg, on Treaty 1 Territory and the homeland of the Red River Métis, to explore the transformative role museums can play in fostering empathy, decolonization, rematriation/repatriation, promoting human rights and cultivating a culture of peace.
Themes for the conference fall into three categories:
- Indigenization/decolonization of museums
- Peacemaking/human rights
- Working in the space of cultural heritage/peacemaking
