Global Conversation: Museum Diplomacy in Changing Times

Description

Join Dr. Sarah Smith, Assistant Professor and Canada Research Chair in Art, Culture and Global Relations and Dr. Sascha Priew, Director of Collections and Public Programs of the Aga Khan Museum, as they sit down with Dr. Ulrike Al-Khamis, CEO and Director of the Aga Khan Museum, Dr. Ngaire Blankenberg, Director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African Art, and Anne Elisabeth Thibault, Executive Director of Pointe-à-Callière, Montréal’s Archaeology and History Complex to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing cultural institutions at this moment.

With significant changes in the world, from the impact of the global pandemic to ongoing conflicts and a call to respond better to local audiences, what does museum leadership look like through these tumultuous times? How has global engagement changed in the wake of COVID-19?

This panel responds to a 2019 study of the global activities of ten museums across Canada. Returning to this research following the pandemic, we seek to assess the impact of the pandemic on cultural institutions.

Supported in part by funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
