Following the recent Black Lives Matter protests, and with more and more people using social media and other internet technologies during lockdown, a discussion on the relationship between social media and the decolonisation of our museum collections has never been more timely.

But in the movement to decolonise our heritage, where does social media fit in? Aayushi Gupta and Jeanne Coppens from Ourchives, an anti-colonial grassroots project based in Edinburgh, will be discussing how Scotland's museums, archives and historic properties can use their digital platforms to inquire into the ownership and representation of cultural objects in their collections.

After the short presentation, there'll be time for a Q&A and discussion. We'll also be chatting about the Black Lives Matter movement, the COVID-19 pandemic, and what they mean for people in social media roles.
