Repatriation Series: a Special Focus on Repatriation Work in Bristol
We are delighted to announce the next event in MEG’s Keeping Connected - Repatriation Series: a Special Focus on Repatriation Work in Bristol
For several years, Bristol Museum and Art Gallery and the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) have been discussing returns of cultural heritage to Australia. This event will reflect on those discussions with community members and AIATSIS staff. As momentum builds and more communities call for the return of ancestral belongings, many museums find themselves uncertain about how to respond effectively and responsibly.
This is an opportunity to explore repatriation work, to share and learn practical guidance for institutions that will navigate similar processes.
This event will be held in person to encourage informal discussion and peer support. Places are limited, and registration is essential to foster open dialogue around complex and sensitive issues.
