Restitution of stolen or looted artifacts has been a growing topic within museums and the cultural sector. What role can digital technologies play in tackling the issue of contested cultural heritage, and how can we include the communities within this process? Join us on 2 November for a collective conversation, where a team of researchers, artists and members of indigenous communities from Mexico come together and invite everyone to discuss possibilities, limitations, and ethical considerations 3D printing offers.
The event is free of charge but requires a registration. Spaces are limited, so make sure to book in advance. For more information, please go to the website of Framer Framed.
