If we imagine a truly regenerative museum in the future, what might it feel like to walk into that space?We recorded a series of episodes for a special series of Museums and Chill – The ICOM Podcast from ICOM Dubai 2025, a moment where museum thinkers come together to reflect on the role of museums in a changing world.This episode engages with two of the Conference's key sub-themes: New Technologies and Intangible Heritage.As museums navigate rapid technological transformation alongside shifting social, environmental, and demographic realities, questions around innovation, responsibility, and cultural continuity are becoming increasingly central.

It reflects on how institutions can integrate digital advancement thoughtfully, not only to improve operations and audience experiences, but to ensure that living traditions, knowledge systems, and cultural expressions remain meaningful and resilient within rapidly evolving communities.Every three years, museum professionals gather at the ICOM General Conference to listen, to question, and to exchange ideas. Across these conversations, we explore how museums are evolving, how responsibilities are shifting, and how culture continues to connect communities around the world.Join us while we discover how regenerative thinking goes beyond reducing impact, toward restoring ecosystems, strengthening communities, and reshaping institutional mindsets with Adib Dada.This episode's guestAdib Dada is an internationally recognized regenerative advisor, environmental architect, and founder of theOtherDada (tOD), an advisory and architecture practice, pioneering nature-based design rooted in biomimicry and systems thinking.

In this episode of Museums and Chill, we welcome Sigidimnak' Noxs Ts'aawit, Dr. Amy Parent and Barbara Fillion to talk about the rematriation of the House of Ni'isjoohl memorial pole.The House of Ni'isjoohl memorial pole makes its way home from Scotland as the first totem pole rematriated from the United Kingdom. The rematriation of the pole is the result of a year-long discussion and close collaboration between the Nisg̱a'a Nation and the National Museum of Scotland. The term “rematriation” reframes the concept of “repatriation” by grounding the process of recovering belongings in Indigenous law — and is more closely in alignment with Nisg̱a'a matrilineal society.Witness history unfold as this memorial pole returns home, marking a pivotal moment in museum repatriation.DisclaimerThe views and opinions expressed by our podcast's guests are their own and do not reflect the opinions or views of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) and its bodies and entities.
