Redescubrir el patrimonio universitario. Arte\, ciencia\, historia y sociedad DESCRIPTION:La Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) tiene una larga y consolidada trayectoria en cuanto a su patrimonio\, sus colecciones y sus museos\, que se inicia en 1910 con la creación de la Universidad\, y se reafirma a partir de 1929\, con el reconocimiento de la autonomía universitaria.\nDesde entonces ha  desempeñado un  papel protagónico  en la reunión\,  estudio\, conservación\, preservación\,  exhibición  y  divulgación  de  bienes  culturales y  naturales\, cumpliendo con las funciones universitarias de docencia\, investigación y difusión de la cultura.\nMuchos acervos son tradicionales\, mientras otros son de reciente formación. En todos los casos es necesario visitar y revisitar el patrimonio para revalorizarlo y darle un sentido de actualidad\, que sea significativo para las nuevas generaciones.\nRedescubrir el patrimonio universitario significa conocerlo\, interpretarlo y reinterpretarlo\, pero sobre todo preservarlo para las generaciones futuras y para fomentar un sentido de identidad universitaria.\nCon este propósito\, el Seminario Universitario de Museos y Espacios Museográficos\, el Museo de Geofísica de la UNAM\, el Comité Nacional Mexicano del Consejo Internacional de Museos (ICOM-México)\, el Grupo de Colecciones y Museos Universitarios (UMAC) en México convocan a los miembros de la comunidad universitaria relacionados con el patrimonio universitario a participar en el análisis de la situación del patrimonio universitario y presentar propuestas para su mejor utilización en la reunión.

As focal points with social\, political and cultural authority\, museums and universities both generate and transmit knowledge. Museums de-contextualise and re-contextualise objects in their collections. This means they can be both a constrainer and liberator of meaning. Museums have historically mediated meaning and access to meaning around collections and objects. Access to meaning can either challenge or embed paradigms of knowledge. Universities and museums were at the centre of political power when European colonisers spread across the globe. This involved massive displacements of cultural objects\, scientific specimens and even human remains. Objects became a part of the trade in Imperial knowledge systems.\n\n \nMany argue that now is the time for museums and universities to come to terms with this historical legacy. Museums and universities have many collections that are colonial legacies. There are demands from source communities for repatriation and restitution. Furthermore\, audiences and students want to know how and why much of that material got there in the first place. There are calls for this reckoning with historical legacies to reshape universities and museums into new types of organisations through decolonization.\n \nThis webinar asks the questions (among others):\n· Are museums and universities changing to incorporate new knowledge systems?\n· Are museums and universities organisations that are capable of polyphony?\n· Can these institutions be Indigenised?\n· Do attempts to bring in new voices\, perspectives and knowledge systems amount to more than tokenism or appropriation\, or is real progress being made?\n\nRead more here\n\n \n\nAccess here:\n\n  URL:http://umac.icom.museum/calendar/polyphonic-perspectives/ CATEGORIES:Conference END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20261012T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20261016T000000 DTSTAMP:20260224T131325Z CREATED:20260224T131325Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260224T131325Z UID:7732-1791763200-1792108800@umac.icom.museum SUMMARY:Annual Meeting of ICOM-UMAC 2026 - Greece!

The integration of the SDGs into U-Museums and collections presents both challenges and opportunities and may affect their everyday life practice. \nUniversity Museums and collections are valuable functions in the University and society. They may facilitate people’s access to and understanding of the University’s cultural\, scientific\, technological and environmental heritage while constituting important resources for education\, lifelong learning and research. They can serve as valuable learning environments for University students\, school students\, teachers (Resolution 4 Empowering Museums in Achieving the SDGs through Youth\, ICOM Dubai 2025) and the public providing hands-on experience fostering a deeper understanding of sustainable development issues. Through exhibitions and outreach programs focusing on museum education\, they can approach\, inform and engage different audiences in climate action\, wellbeing and prosperity\, human rights\, inclusion and peace-related activities\, building partnerships\, promoting sustainable practices and behaviors\, enhancing the effectiveness and implementation of the SDGs\, and contributing to changing lifestyles. \nCan University Museums become actors enhancing the role of universities for Sustainable Development? UMAC 2026 Conference will explore university museums’ & collections’ worldwide efforts to become powerful actors for Sustainable Development by serving as crucial sites for education\, research\, community engagement and showcasing university sustainability efforts\, bridging academic knowledge with public understanding and action on issues like climate change\, social justice\, risk management and cultural heritage preservation\, thereby enhancing the university’s broader societal role. \n  \nSub-topics \n1.The value of University collections in integrating the SDGs \n2.University Museums and collections engaging in the educational community and the public for the SDGs \n3.University Museums and collections at the forefront of the University’s strategy on Sustainable Development \n4.University Museums’ contribution to educating on sustainable development in contexts facing security\, environmental risks and climate challenges \n5.North-South cooperation to strengthen the contribution of University Museums to the implementation of the SDG \n  \nPAPER AND POSTER PROPOSALS \nMORE INFORMATION \nWORKSHOP \nTo be announced \nEXCURSION \nTo be announced \nTRAVEL GRANTS \nTo be announced \nICOM-UMAC offer a limited number of travel grants for conference participants from countries 3-5 categories \nQuestions regarding the event may be addressed to:\numac2026.greece@gmail.com \n  URL:http://umac.icom.museum/calendar/annual-meeting-of-icom-umac-2026-greece/ CATEGORIES:Conference END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
