Updates from CARMAH
Dear readers, As many of you know, the annual conference of ICOM Germany will take place from November 2nd – 5th, 2022. During the conference, the new board of ICOM Germany will be elected. If you are an ICOM member, your participation is important. With your vote, you will contribute to paving the way for the future work of ICOM Germany. Please visit ICOM Germany’s website to register for the conference or delegate your mandate to ICOM members attending the General Assembly in person. Earlier this year, ICOM approved the new museum definition which now needs to be put into practice. The ongoing series of events Making Museums Matter (co-organized by CARMAH members) aims to discuss how museum work can succeed in becoming socially more relevant and inclusive.

Guests
In October, we welcomed two new CARMAH guests. Arantxa Ciafrino is a museologist and art historian with experience working with cultural production and art education. Currently, she is enrolled in a Ph.D Programme in Sociomuseology at the Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias in Lisbon. Arantxa joined CARMAH through an Erasmus programme and will be working on the project CHAPTER: Challenging Populist Truth-Making in Europe: The Role of Museums in a Digital ‘Post-Truth’ European Society. Veronica Ferreri is a Marie Curie Global Fellow at the Department of Humanities in Venice's Ca' Foscari University. Her project Archives in Times of War examines diasporic Syrians' practices of preservation and storage of mundane legal documents and their centrality in the different forms of care enacted by families scattered between Syria and Europe. At CARMAH, Veronica will work on how to combine artistic practices and research findings in collaboration with local communities and creative co-production as a form of research.
