The CAC’s (Re)Conciliation Working Group (RWG) presents a moderated panel with Indigenous conservators and curators. In this discussion we hope to confront the colonial biases that exist in the conservation profession by examining the basic role of values in conservation decision-making. Who gets to make conservation decisions? Whose interests are preserved? And how can we shift our priorities to open up new possibilities for our conservation practice?
Panelists: Sean Young (Haida Gwaii Museum), Meranda Roberts (Field Museum), and John Moses (Canadian Conservation Institute)
Moderator: Heidi Swierenga (Museum of Anthropology, UBC)
May 26th, 2021, 5:30-7:30 EDT on Zoom
