Introduction
From: Decolonize Museums
$1.70
In the Introduction, Shimrit Lee explores how the increasing number of protest movements against imperialism, racism, and colonialism have brought the ‘neutrality’ of museums into question. Topics discussed include museum’s ties to imperialism, colonialism, and war, museums as contested spaces in recent times, the culture of forgetfulness about the political and cultural undertones of why museums own certain artifacts, and how to move forwards with decolonization and decolonizing museums.
