the 2024 ICOM UK Conference will take place on 12th April at the Ulster Museum in Belfast.
We live in an age of division and discord, with many communities riven by political differences, social inequalities and, in some cases, conflict and its legacy.
This conference will explore the role of museums as important shared spaces, where differences can be ethically discussed and represented, and areas of commonality identified and valued.
Hear from museum professionals from the island of Ireland, the UK and the global museum community, in a city that has been damaged by division but through the ongoing social peace process is embracing the opportunities of the present and looking to a more positive future.
The ICOM UK 2024 Conference is a collaboration between ICOM UK, NMDC and National Museums NI, with support from the Northern Ireland Museums Council, the Irish Museums Association, ICOM Ireland and Barker Langham.
Call for papers: N/A
Price: Tickets start at 40 GBP for ICOM members, and an early bird ticket for non-members is available until 31 January 2024.
