Global Voices Local Choices project partners, participants, and stakeholders joined in Stormont to reflect on and showcase the positive outcomes of the project’
National Museums NI, in partnership with the African and Caribbean Support Organisation Northern Ireland (ACSONI) and Northern Ireland Museums Council (NIMC), has been working on a new decolonisation project, funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund.
Taking place over the last 12 months, and designed to engage marginalised communities, the success of the ‘Global Voices, Local Choices’ project was celebrated at an event in Parliament Buildings this past weekend.
The Tower Museum attended the event in Stormont along with approximately 60 people took part in a series of workshops in museums across Northern Ireland, including Carrickfergus Museum; Armagh Robinson Library and No. 5 Vicar’s Hill; Fermanagh County Museum; Causeway Coast and Glen Museum Service; and Ulster Museum.
Professional creative facilitators supported the groups to focus on the meaning and cultural significance of objects that reflect their history, identity and culture, and encouraged open dialogue to help greater understanding into the future.
The Global Voices, Local Choices project aims to engage marginalised communities and bring people together through conversation and learning.
The project has been nominated for a prestigious 2023 Museums Change Lives Award, with the event taking place later this month.
