Judith Dehail, senior lecturer in cultural mediation in the arts and amU fellow on research leave in the first half of 2022-2023, is organising the closing conference of the REMED project – Mediating minority narratives in museums, on March 26th and 27th, 2026.
Mediating minority narratives in museums
The REMED project is a research project funded by the Amidex Foundation devoted to the place of minority narratives in museums. It proposes a cross-disciplinary approach to the museum institution: going beyond the analysis of exhibitions alone, it examines the hierarchies of narratives, practices and knowledge that structure the teams, as well as the professional and cultural norms on which they are based. By questioning established museum frameworks and exploring issues of co-creation, REMED examines the conditions for a more collective and situated production of knowledge.
The closing conference will provide an opportunity to review the results of the project and present the “REMED Collective* – Composing in sensitive areas” game, developed over the course of the REMED Workshops as an experimental tool for working with sensitive situations and cooperation dynamics.
The two days will combine feedback from experience, experiments with the game, lectures – notably by Nora Sternfeld and Françoise Vergès – and round tables devoted to co-creation and the links between mediation and popular education, affirming the project’s roots in critical, collaborative and emancipatory practices.
This REMED project echoes the eponymous research project led by Judith Dehail during her residency at Iméra from September 2022 to February 2023.
