What does it mean to connect to ‘Country’? Our Sydney Winter School ‘History in the Park. Connecting Histories of Relations to Land’ is coming to an end. A week of discussion on land dispossession (eg park heritagisation, military use or golf courses), from 🇦🇺& Rapa Nui, to South Africa & Palestine.

If you're in Paris, come to Sorbonne to discuss how preservation relates to destruction - this coming Friday.

Looking forward to returning to ENS Paris @normalesup.bsky.social in collaboration with Sorbonne @inha.fr for a workshop on the museum label 🏛️.

How many Stories can one Museum Object tell?

Excited to be in Paris to reflect on the future of museum storage in one of the key notes. The 400+ attendees suggest there are pressing issues, from lack of space, to decolonisation efforts & climate change. Yesterday I saw the Louvre storage in Lens built on a former coal mine. Live stream below.

I had a wonderful time at Orient Institute Istanbul as a Max Weber Foundation exchange fellow, learning from colleagues in Turkey & being exposed to different narratives on Ottoman heritage. On the slide: Istanbul's version of Schliemann's troy excavation: it talks about (il)legality & destruction.

Tomorrow in Istanbul & online
Round Table "Owners and Inheritors: Identity, Nationalism, Heritage and Preservation in and outside Turkey"
Who owns the British Museum's Parthenon Frieze or Berlin's Pergamon Altar-& why is this not obvious? What are Turkish perspectives?

Nowruz Mobarak from Istanbul! Grateful to be able to spend a month in Turkey as Max Weber Foundation exchange fellow. Surely, the history of Ottoman Heritage in European Museums has a whole other side to it. Looking forward to conversations, archives & a panel discussion at the OII/Orient Institute.

We're finally passing on the microphone.
Looking forward to seeing where @tnflorvil.bsky.social @poutrusicke.bsky.social are taking the conversation later today on GHIL's Insta live channel!
