'Connections and disconnections: museums, cultural heritage and diverse
communities'
Victoria and Albert Museum, London, on Saturday 22 June 2002,10.30 -17.00.

Overview:
"This conference will examine how those involved in cultural heritage are
responding to the challenge to draw on, reflect and engage with the cultural
diversity and complexity of today 's society.
It will explore the nature of existing and potential relationships between
museums, material culture and
communities at a local, national and international level. The presentations
will consider some of the strategies deployed to involve and sustain a more
culturally diverse audience,
reflecting on the key issues of :
*       communities; expectations and aspirations; partnership and ownership
*       'connections and disconnections 'between diverse communities and
both historical and contemporary collections
*       opportunities for challenging and enriching cultural authority
through engagement with diverse communities and the collection of intangible
heritage the challenge of new technology alongside more traditional
strategies in involving and sustaining new audiences
*       opportunities for inter-cultural ,inter-generational,
inter-disciplinary and inter-agency initiatives.

Set within the context of broader political and social realities, the
conference is designed to bring together key stake-holders, museum
professionals, educators, diverse communities and members of the general
public with a view to fostering networks, promoting debate and informing
future practice.

The conference is supported b the Heritage Lottery Fund through the
programme Cultural Diversity and the V&A

One of the central aims of the conference programme is to disseminate
findings and share experience with others. We are aware that there are many
examples of work, both within museums and within communities, that have not
been included and we are therefore keen to overcome this limitation through
distribution of literature, papers or displays on the day . If you would
