“The question we hear most often from colleagues is how to get organisations to have uncomfortable conversations,” Daniels says.
“These conversations may be happening internally, or at a philosophical level externally, but they are not happening in a way to evolve as a field. This project isn’t to create ‘gotcha’ moments, but rather to recognise that museums are at an inflection point.”
The Penn CHC has been supporting ethical collecting since its founding in 2008, including working closely with local communities in countries around the world to identify and preserve their cultural heritage.
