Conservation
Matters in Wales: Doing things differently
National
Museum Cardiff, Tuesday
13th
December
A
Free one day conference organised by Amguedda Cymru: National Museum
Wales,
The Federation of Museums and Art Galleries of Wales and
Cardiff
University.
We
would like to invite speakers to respond to a call for papers on the
theme “Doing
Things Differently”.
Ideas for workshops or panel discussions are also welcomed.
Heritage
and conservation is changing and this conference will celebrate
conservators who do things differently.
We
are interested in exploring the following themes:
- Skills and techniques: How has your conservation practice developed or evolved? Are you using you’re conservation skills in unexpected places or different ways? Have you created a new treatment, innovated a new approach or lead improvements? How are you working with new technology?
- Who pays for conservation?: Has the funding for your work changed? Are you responding to increasing commercial use of a heritage asset you are responsible for? Are grant funders asking you do things differently?
- People and Partners: Have you changed the way you work with others? Has the role of volunteers changed? Are you forming new partnerships to facilitate greater collections access? Does conservation have a different place in your community?
Proposals
are welcomed from those inside and outside of Wales.
If
you are interested in speaking please send a brief outline to
Megan de Silva
Deadline
for submissions: Monday 14th
November 2016.
