Community Engagement through Connecting Past to Present
Presenter: Julieta Cuéllar
Sites of Conscience are museums, historic sites, and memory initiatives that explicitly link the history they preserve to its present legacies. By making this connection, and further providing opportunities for dialogue and action, Sites around the world are engaging with their local communities in profound ways. During this session participants will be introduced to the innovative approaches that Sites of Conscience have developed in difficult contexts, illustrating models for socially responsive museums everywhere.
