Conference: "Envisioning Decolonial Futures Through Archaeology"
The conference brings together a diverse range of scholars active in different parts of the world to discuss the relevance and meaning of decolonial theory in archaeology. Decoloniality is essentially practice, but discussing its underlying theoretical aspects is key to defining strategies for the future.
Discussions will be held on themes such as Indigeneity and the meanings of enslavement in the Americas. There will be reflections on African Archaeology, its decolonisation and the management of African heritage. Decolonial thinking—understood as a body of theory originating in Latin America—will be discussed together with archaeologists from Brazil and Argentina. Scholars from a variety of backgrounds will share their ideas about the role museums and heritage play in decolonisation.
