Conference | October 29, 2025 | 10.00 - 16.00 | Gerbrandszaal, Wereldmuseum Leiden
The Research Center for Material Culture is hosting the first day of the conference Decolonizing Archaeological Epistemologies, organized by Dr. Pansee Atta. Can we propose more expansive, democratic, and liberatory practices and approaches to the past and material culture? What can counter-colonial approaches rethinking the status of the historical object in the public eye be?
The full program will follow shortly. It is already possible to register for the conference.
