Great first session at today's workshop on statues, politics, planning, memory.
@felipedebrigard.bsky.social is both philosopher and neuroscientist, and AFAIK the 1st philosopher keynote at ICOM.

For the next few days we'll be focussing on our amazing keynote speakers!
First up, we have Prof Sue Gathercole. This is particularly fitting as Sue was one of the co-founders of ICOM.

Today's keynote speaker to highlight is Prof Dorthe Bernsten!
