The impact of participative strategies on the museum brings together international voices to discuss the consequences of this turn to subjectivity. It aims to reflect on participatory approaches in collecting, displaying and researching and to analyze the impact of peoples subjectivity in the museum, whether it is from the museum workers, the visitors or the participants involved in projects. The deadline for registration is 26 May 2017.

The conference is a joint effort of the Historisches Museum Frankfurt and the Department of Museology of the Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias in Lisbon to bring together researchers from different parts of the world to fill gaps between diverse museological traditions.
