Conservation and engagement
Peters examines the ways in which
museums/heritage institutions and particularly conservators have been changing
their attitudes and approaches to use of objects in their care, against the
backdrop of an increasingly globalized world in which, counter-intuitively,
individual, community and local identity are increasingly emerging. The talk
explores whether conservators can take up a role of championing minorities’
aspirations without compromising conservation principles. The author argues that conservators can only fulfil
their potential when effectively engaged with key interest groups related to
the collections they work on.
