On the fight against Confederate monuments and the GOP counteroffensives I recommend "Smashing Statues" by Erin L. Thompson (2022) and "No Common Ground" by Karen L. Cox (2021).

A rather curious book is Where is Franco? by Julia Schulz-Dornburg (2022). In this book she tells the story of her journey through Spain to locate the 9 equestrian statues of Franco. Several are stored in museum warehouses or in such curious spaces as an abandoned university in Zaragoza. One of them is in Melilla, in the courtyard of a private foundation, the Gaselec Foundation.

Wonder what people will make of this monument (and the debate around it) in 100 years' time?

Was having such great conversations with the new cohort on the Leadership in #ContestedHeritage course I didn't take any decent photos except my scribbles on the inevitable flip chart. We're gonna have a lot of fun together this year 😁

Thank you to the ever wonderful @LisaReaCurrie and Rhianne Morgan for co-facilitating

And we'll be returning to
Corrymeela to meet the final cohort of the #OurPlacesOurPastsOurPerspectives Leadership in Contested Heritage course participants.

We're also embarking on conversations with communities and stakeholders of St Anne's Cathedral, Belfast, exploring possibilities for creating a Centre for Acknowledgement and Memory that reflects the experiences and consequences of the Troubles

This New Year has brought us some exciting new challenges.

We're delighted to be collaborating with Cian Smyth at Ulster University and artist Amanda Dunsmore, inviting local communities into conversation about the heritage and meaning of the #GoodFridayAgreement

Quite a title - but aptly describes the process behind this exhibition and the conversations we had together as #contestedheritage practitioners Lisburn Museum. We hugely value the community of practice emerging from the Our Places Our Pasts Our Perspectives project led by Corrymeela.
