Organised by the ICOM International Committee for the Collections and Activities of Museums Of Cities (CAMOC) and Barcelona History Museum (MUHBA) online and in person from 1-3 December 2021, the CAMOC Annual Conference in Barcelona will be called "Connecting cities, connecting citizens. Towards a shared sustainability".
Technological change, accelerated by the pandemic, and the current social and political uncertainty further emphasize the importance of cities and the urban network in the global future. In this context, the reinvention of city museums can play a key role in building a democratic world with more social justice and respect for the planet. Over three days, the conference aims to deepen the role that city museums can play as strategic institutions of urban, social and cultural cohesion that make it possible to connect cities and citizenship in favour of a shared sustainability as a common social and democratic project and, also, as knowledge centres and polarities for urban development.
