Decentring the museum : contemporary art institutions and colonial legacies

by Nina Möntmann

This study examines how contemporary art institutions can decolonise and decentre their Euro-centric practices. Drawing on examples from anthropological museums and small-scale art spaces, it proposes new models for collaboration and collective knowledge production.
