This symposium promises to ask questions about how we interact with history at museums. It will take place entirely online.

The conference is entitled “Participation and Public Interpretations: How to Navigate Multiple Historical Narratives in Museums?”

Says the event page: “This event focuses on the multiple and diverse narratives in participatory history. Reinforced by ideology, identity, memory, and personal stories, public participation can enrich history and foster a variety of perspectives that may compete or complement one another.”

The symposium is organised by the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) and the University of Luxembourg. It features several talks and panels, including “Multiple Narratives of Conflicting Past” and “Visitors and Users as Co-producers”.

The event is online (via Webex) and free, but registration is required. See for details.
