The Summer School brought together experts to discuss topics such as the impact of Artificial Intelligence on museum work, participatory curatorship, collaborative networks, and the role of museums in constructing and challenging historical identities.

This talk was part of the fourth panel of the conference, titled The museum as citizen: difficult histories, contested identities.
