The Role of Heritage in Belonging

MultakaOxford is a multi-award winning project based at the History of Science and Pitt Rivers Museum. Meaning meeting point in Arabic, Multaka uses objects and museums to decentre our understanding of belonging. Instead, it spotlights how different ways to 'be' help us create communities where we all belong.

Nicola Bird (GLAM) will give you the chance to experience how our diversity of heritage can be unifying and bring clarity in a world of messy division. She will be joined by Kibrom Kayhsay and Marwa Ahmed.

To attend the dinner, you must attend the prior seminar.
