Conference Review: Hands on History ReConference, 2-4 November 2018
Abstract
Copenhagen 2 November, and a warm welcome received at the National Museum in Copenhagen. What better way to start a conference than with colouring flags and glitter? Well, it certainly was a great icebreaker for an international conference on re-enactment, for people from all over the globe speaking several different languages. Being asked to write a review, I wondered how best to approach this. I haven’t provided a synthesis of what was said, as this conference was broadcast live and is also available to download on YouTube, so there seems little point in regurgitating what can be seen first person. Instead I have given an overview of some of the key themes and what I feel can be learnt from them.
