What a wonderful experience in Senegal! We discussed conservation, its multiple definitions, and its political uses. Conservation was challenged by our great speakers, lively audience, and many songs and dances. Let's work for more justice, nuance, and fun in the museum world, academia, and beyond.
Sargal Fatima Fall Niang! We closed the day with a heartfelt ceremony honoring Fatima Fall Niang. She is an iconic figure in heritage management in 🇸🇳, dedicating her life to its preservation. A former director of CRDS in Saint-Louis, she combined practical experience with theoretical approaches.
