CIMAM Annual Conference 2017: Travel Grants Available

- How can national museums and art museums counter this global phenomenon of xenophobia and populism, to connect a local public with regional and international histories, perspectives and concerns?
- How can museums continue to be effective forums in society where different communities and peoples of all backgrounds and beliefs still come together, instead of retreating into parochial isolation?
- At the same time the mission of CIMAM will also be considered: Who are CIMAM’s stakeholders? Who has vested interests, and what are the constituencies to whom we are responsible?
