I love Sophie Richards’ (from @NMMGreenwich) presentation, introducing Pepeha as a way to situate yourself. Also interesting to hear Te Reo Māori is so commonly understood around the Pacific #UKRegistrars @UKregistrars

How long do you think it takes a team of 5 to clean everything?

How's your museum going to follow up on recent statements of support for the #BlackLivesMatter movement with tangible actions to address racial diversity, equity, and inclusive environments?

[Jill McKnight @MuseumsJill]

@OliviaRMaguire1 @emmadenness @CollectionTrust Yes having the same issue

[Royal Armouries @Royal_Armouries]

... and communities. We are at the beginning of a journey to deliver that change in partnership with the communities we serve, and we are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all, and one in which racism is not tolerated. [2/2]

#BlackLivesMatter

[Royal Armouries @Royal_Armouries]

We condemn racism in all its forms. We recognise that the history which attaches to our collection is often painful and difficult and remains highly relevant today.

There is enormous potential to change how we reflect and represent the histories of diverse audiences... [1/2]
