This three-hour interactive workshop led by Skylee-Storm Hogan-Stacey and Krista McCracken will focus on the colonial roots of museum practice, what decolonization can mean in a museum context, and look at best practices for Indigenous community-engaged approaches to museum work.
In addition to relationship building and policy change based on the presenters’ experiences, attendees will learn about the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in relation to museums, Indigenous data sovereignty, the Canadian Museums Association’s Moved to Action report, and case studies for locally driven decolonizing work.
To encourage an inclusive learning environment, the OMA will provide 5 fully subsidized registrations for each of the following sessions: Advocacy is Multifaceted, Duties & Liabilities of Directors and Officers of Charities & NFPs, and More than a Checklist.
