We are delighted to invite you to join us for a European symposium on 20 June 2024 in Liverpool, a port city that holds vital memory of emigration and transatlantic enslavement. The symposium is hosted by the Transatlantic Slavery and Legacies in Museums Forum in collaboration with the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience-Europe and National Museums Liverpool.
The symposium offers Forum members the opportunity to engage in a geographically broader dialogue about challenging inherently discriminatory narratives and building empowering and equitable community partnerships. It continues the crucial work of heritage sites as agents of social transformation and active human rights advocates.
In Europe, museums, heritage sites and cultural institutions are embracing this role by challenging a range of exclusive narratives related to the legacies of colonialism, patriarchy, enslavement and historical discriminations of all types and serving as spaces for dialogue and civic engagement.
