(Focus Group) 17:00 Open discussion 18:00 Drinks Introducing the concept of the ‘migrating museum’ to represent institutional change the conference intends to reknit the term migration and the content expectations it generates. Cultural practices on migration are both challenging and ambivalent. Western policies create multi-cultural settings that are utopian and support inherent colonial dynamics. The aim is then to recon– sider the term migration in the light of race, class and gender constructions. This would result in critical interventions into museum and media structures and inquiries into the role of cultural producers, viewers and subjects.
