One of the key aims of Point of Displacement is to bring together specialists interested in migration and ethnocultural diversity. The project grew out of cooperation between various organizations (Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Museum of Moscow, State Tretyakov Gallery, UNHCR, the education project School of Neighbors’ Languages) and each year it involves new institutions and teams. The brunch format allows participants to share their ideas, ask advice, and exchange the latest news and project experience in an informal setting.

Free admission with advance registration

REGISTRATION

The presentation of the methodology handbook is constructed as a public discussion by the authors around their own texts. How do we describe the experiences of belonging to «another» culture and of displacement? How do ethnocultural diversity and museum initiatives intersect? How can we create an atmosphere that is comfortable for all and equal relationships within projects? How can we develop work in this area: what could and should be done differently? What else should we do?
