In October 2024 the International Council on Museums (ICOM) international committees CAMOC (City Museums) and COMCOL (Collecting) are holding a joint conference, Collecting with(in) the City. The conference will be hosted by the Amsterdam Museum in partnership with Imagine IC.
The conference is a space for heritage practitioners from all over the world to reflect on collecting in and within a city. We welcome anyone from any professional field who is interested in these matters to submit proposals on the following topics:
· Power and (In)equalities
· Creative Engagements
· Fluid Borders
· Tangible and Intangible
· Concepts of Care
We welcome proposals for traditional paper presentations, as well as workshops, dialogue sessions, highlight sessions, artistic interventions, and posters. We prefer practical cases over academic approaches.
- Paper & Practices (individual or shared presentation up to 15 minutes)
- Workshops (90-120 minute sessions by one or more facilitators that provide practical takeaways)
- Dialogue session (60 minute session of moderator and 2-4 speakers to share perspectives on a focused topic)
- Highlight session (20 images in 6 minutes and 40 seconds)
- Artistic intervention (please explain in the proposal how attendees will experience or interact with it)
- Poster (graphic presentation with up to 300 words to be shared with attendees in gallery setting)
Learn more and submit a proposal at https://camoc.mini.icom.museum/conferences/amsterdam-2024/
The deadline for all abstract submissions is 15 April 2024, 23:59 CET. Approval of proposals will be announced by 15 May 2024.
