Decolonising GLAMs: Practices, Communities and Collective Action (Hybrid)

Decolonising GLAMs: Practices, Communities and Collective Action

This one-day hybrid final conference of the DeCoGLAM community explores how decolonial and community-centred approaches can benefit Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAMs).

Through talks, discussions, and collaborative mapping, participants will reflect on what it means to decolonise GLAMs practice — and how collective action can build more equitable knowledge futures.

DeCoGLAM (Decolonising the Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums Network) brings together researchers, cultural workers, and community organisers to share experience, tools, and critical insights that challenge colonial legacies within memory institutions.

This event will summarise the achievements of DeCoGLAM, discuss its sustainability and continue that conversation by focusing on practice — what we do, how we do it, and how we can act collectively to make change sustainable.

DeCoGLAM is supported by the Collaborative Research Cultures project at the University of Strathclyde funded by the Wellcome Trust.
