Conference Abstract:
The scope of this conference is to reflect from an interdisciplinary 
perspective on the role that contemporary art – and especially 
conceptual art – had for the progressive critical reform and 
democratization of museology since the beginning of the 20th century. We 
are looking for contributions that discuss historic and recent 
case-studies, theories and solutions that emerged in the context of a 
new, social museology.

How did conceptual art contribute in time to the re-thinking of the 
museum as practice (social and cultural), which had important 
implications for promoting de-colonial thinking, allowing multiple 
narratives, including secondary objects and marginalised histories into 
the museologic narrative and expanding the identity of the heritage 
object with an ephemeral dimension.

This conference intends as well to go deeper into the principles of 
sociomuseology, which includes the immediate social reality into the 
museologic practice. We would like to propose a discussion around this 
term – launched in 2007 at Universidade Lusofona at the International 
MINOM meeting, while introducing the question of art into this field.

The call is open to contributions from anthropology, social sciences, 
education science, design, performance studies, aesthetics. We would 
like to follow how do these approaches reflect back into the discipline 
of museology, determining a shift towards a de-colonial and social 
museology. A publication will be issued in 2022-2023 which includes the 
conference proceedings, related articles by the conference participants 
and artistic portfolios.

Formats: Lecture (Theoretical contributions, case-studies, documentation 
of artistic practices and works etc.), Film/Video and Photography 
Submission (Material to be Projected and Presented During the Conference 
Days).
