Seeing Truth in Museums: Conference

***Seeing Truth in Museums*** brings together artists, curators and Indigenous knowledge holders to offer critical perspectives on visual and material culture historically collected for museums insituations of unequal power, in often violent and coercive circumstances, during the British colonial era.

Centring on a conversation between British artist and art historian **Dr Jane Wildgoose** and Tasmanian Aboriginal artist **Janice Ross**, ***Seeing Truth in Museum***s explores how artists and Indigenous knowledge holders navigate prevailing power structures in museums (and beyond) to tell truth about colonial legacies in collections, and associated intergenerational trauma, and to advocate for processes of reconnection and reparation.

At the ***Seeing Truth in Museums*** half-day conference, British artist and art historian Dr Jane and Janice will be be joined by artists, curators, and Indigenous knowledge holders who will share their experience of navigating power structures in museums, telling truth about colonial legacies in collections, and advocating for processes of reconnection and reparation.

This project is developed by Jane Wildgoose in association with Artquest and Conway Hall, at the invitation of the University of Connecticut; it is a new iteration of UConn's Future of Truth / Seeing Truth project funded by the Luce Foundation, with additional support from the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art.

Presented by Conway Hall.
