In this first workshop, we will delve into various aspects of social sustainability: examining the meaning and implications behind various terms and concepts. What does decolonization actually mean? And how may it differ in different contexts? What is the difference between inclusion and belonging? Is there an important difference when it comes to accessibility and bringing in new audiences? Join colleagues from around the globe to get insights on how we interpret social sustainability and discover why it matters.

This workshop will be hosted by Caitlin Southwick who is the founder of Ki Culture and Ki Futures. it takes place online at 16.00 UTC/ 18.00 CEST/ 12.00 EDT/ 09.00 PDT.

About this workshop series: 

This workshop series will focus on the social aspects of collections management - from decolonization, repatriation, and cultural narratives to accessibility, blockbuster exhibitions, and “hoarding” of museums. Over this three part series, we will examine and unpack who comes to our museums and who works in culture - who is missing and how we can open our doors and our work to be inclusive and diverse. Participants will take a critical look at what we do, why we do it, how we do it, and who we are doing it for.
