My mind is blown by this Glossary of Communities, created to elevate the visibility of "heritage words" to the normalizing/universalizing words often used in general and technical conservation glossaries. Thank U dear Renée Riedler for clueing me in! #MaterialCulture #heritage #art glo-co.org

This report should break something in all of us. 15,613 children. The first 27 pages of the report list children whose ages are 0. 26% were under the age of 5

Screenshot from an article that reads

On Monday, the ministry published a list of names of 15,613 children under the age of 18 who it said had been killed in Israeli military operations in Gaza.
Among them, 890 children were under the age of 1, and 274 were born and died during the war. Almost a quarter, 26%, were under the age of 5.

As the main challenges,we identified fewer successors to continue the traditional techniques.To sustain traditional textile manufacturing, it is crucial to support artisans, but also to build new professional networks, find new clients and spread awareness about the craft both in Senegal and abroad.

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.

In this context, we discussed the role of the government in funding restoration of historical buildings and argued that the process of rebuilding can strengthen identities. Built heritage isn’t just monuments--it’s a source of learning and unlearning. #SituatedConservations

Conversations also covered “religion” vs “spirituality" vs "culture". Also, the importance of accurate terms in heritage, gender, power hierarchies, and how museums should move beyond knowledge extraction to include diverse voices.
