The Centre supports a range of cultural heritage initiatives that are associated to the British Museum’s collections.

In other cases, the Centre supports innovative research that is being conducted in Latin America and may not directly relate to the collections. Below are some examples of the kinds of projects we have supported recently. They touch on a range of disciplines, including indigenous, diasporic and collaborative contemporary art, cultural practices that are affected by globalisation, and political museology.
