Looking back on our event in Stockholm
On 11 May, our partners from Stockholm Museum of Women’s History organized the event “Rethinking Knowledge: Exploring Innovative Methods of Sharing and Collaboration” at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern, Stockholm's arts and culture center. The focus of event was on innovative ways of working with cultural expressions, projects, archives and collections as tools for sharing knowledge and history.
For this purpose, participants from different disciplines were invited to share their experiences and their work of challenging conventional notions of knowledge.
At the beginning of the event, Anna Tascha Larsson, director of Stockholm Museum of Women’s History shared the work of a museum without a permanent building and how to make women’s history part of our common knowledge through collaborations.
Furthermore, the panelists included Anusha Anderson, director and founder at Historieberättarna, Amat Levin, journalist, podcaster and author, Jonelle Twum, founder and artistic director at Black Archives Sweden and Michael Barrett, curator for Africa and researcher in social and cultural anthropology at the Museum of Ethnography/National Museums of World Culture in Sweden.
The event was also the opportunity to share the results of the work on "SHAKIN' the classroom", a toolbox of methods aiming to innovate learning and teaching practices. Samuel Döring and Sarah Cordonnier, members of the SHAKIN team, presented this toolbox in the form of a joint interview to a wide audience of students, professionals from museums and archives, local politicians, artists, cultural workers and NGO´s.
