ICME<http://network.icom.museum/icme/> (International Committee for Museums & Collections of Ethnography) and the Horniman Museum invite scholars and practitioners to explore innovative practices and theories in object-led work with ethnographic collections.
We are particularly interested to hear from contributors whose research and/or practice engage with the following questions:
* How can ethnographic collections be used to examine or contest established notions of 'Self' and 'Other'?
* How can dialogical and/or affective engagement with ethnographic objects promote critical reflections on controversial issues (e.g. colonial legacies such as racism, ethnocentrism and primitivism, memory making, gender stereotypes)?
* To what extent can imaginative engagement with objects (through poetry, drawing, drama, dance, storytelling, music, etc) help challenge a fixed understanding of cultural identity and promote inter and transcultural dialogue?
* How can ethnographic museums use object-led practice to strengthen community collaboration and sense of ownership of collections?
