Migration:Cities  |  (im)migration and arrival cities is an ICOM Special
Project led by CAMOC, ICR (ICOM International Committee for Regional
Museums) and CAM (Commonwealth Association of Museums, an ICOM affiliated
organisation). Begun in 2016, the three-year project is creating a web
platform for city, migration and other museums and museum professionals to
share information and meaningful ways to engage with the realities of what
Doug Saunders has termed ‘Arrival Cities’. The platform will become a
resource and a hub to discuss the preservation and representation of
contemporary urban life in museums, offer different insights, research
tools, and museums’ and migrants’ experiences. It will also facilitate
exchange and mentoring opportunities between professionals, acting as a
think-tank and contact zone. 

 

Presentations and Video Contributions

Workshop organizers invite proposals highlighting current projects, case
studies, best practices and practical ideas in each of the Migration:Cities
platform’s content areas: Museum Experiences, Migrants’ Experiences,
Practical Ideas, Web-shops, Contact Zone, and Library Resources. The
proposals can be submitted in two different formats: a 15’ paper
presentation or a 5’ video presentation. 

For more information about the Migration:Cities project, its content areas
and the guideline for video contributions please visit CAMOC website. 

If you are interested in attending the Migration:Cities workshop, please
send us a statement of commitment to the migration theme, no more than 350
words, as well as a 75-word biography.
