Austria The conference is being held at the Weltmuseum Wien, from the 27th to the 30th of June, 2019, with Claudia Augustat (Weltmuseum Wien) responsible for general conference organization, and Juan Alvaro Echeverri (Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Sede Amazonia), responsible for the academic program. Conference events will take place in the Weltmuseum Wien (WMW) and the Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM).1 French ethnologist Anne-Christine Taylor, former Director of the Research and Teaching Department of the Musée du Quai Branly (Paris), will deliver the keynote lecture “Mismatches: Museums, Anthropology and Amazonia” on Saturday June 29. Bill Fisher and Clarice Cohn have organized a special debate on “Policy Setbacks and Rights Reversals faced by Indigenous Brazilians under Bolsonaro and how to Fight Back”, which will take place on Friday 28, at 18:50 in the WMW Forum, with two indigenous leaders (Joziléia Kaingang and Luiz Terena) and two anthropologists (Manuela Carneiro da Cunha and Stephen Grant Baines) connected remotely from Brazil. We continue with Conversations in the Lobby, an event in Steven Rubenstein’s memory and that is now a tradition at each of our Society’s international conferences. Elizabeth Ewart and Laura Graham organized this year’s version, around the topic of (often gendered) vulnerabilities and dangers of fieldwork. Five ethnographic films, open to the general public, will be screened, three on Thursday, 27 June, and two on Sunday, 30 June. Stine Krøijer organized the photo exhibition The Forest of Mirrors, together with photographer Mike Kollöffel. This exhibition and the posters will be displayed in the open area of the Museum. The Academic Program is made up of twelve Thematic panels, three Thematic sessions, one Workshop, and two Poster sessions, with a total of 129 papers and 8 posters.
