As one of the institutional supporters of International Committee for Museums and Collections of Modern Art CIMAM since 2022, SAHA also supports CIMAM within the Travel Grant.

2024’s conference, entitled "Sustainable Futures: How? When? For Whom?", will engage colleagues at the forefront of the field who are thinking anew about the intersection of museological practice, climate/social change and contemporary art, and forging new models of sustainable practice in the cultural sector, to explore sustainability from an integrated and holistic perspective, beginning with our desire to respond to climate change by reassessing policies around collection care and conservation; rethinking the buildings we occupy and the cities we are part of; while also exploring innovative models for economic sustainability and community building.

This event will be jointly hosted and organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), the Hammer Museum at UCLA, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) between 6-8 December 2024.Esra Özkan and Deniz Kırkalı will attend the conference with the support of SAHA.
