Creating Empathy for Living Better Together

Geneviève de Muys holds a master's degree in museology from the University of Montréal, a bachelor's degree in history and a certificate in political science from Laval University. In 2007, she received the Roland-Arpin Prize for her dissertation on museums dealing with human migrations. She then held the position of exhibition project manager in various museum institutions in Québec and France. Since January 2014, Geneviève has been responsible for exhibition projects at the Musée de la civilisation (Québec). Between 2018 and 2022, she worked on the development of a new permanent exhibition on Québec planned for 2024.

Her presentation focuses on how the museum team established this new permanent exhibition to include the words of people who are often under-represented in this type of exhibition.
