Anti-Racist Approaches to Art Museums Today

Catalog description

Seminar in anti-racist curatorial practice explores various aspects of museum history, art history, collection management, object interpretation, fundraising, exhibition design, cataloging, community engagement and more to analyze the ways in which museums have functioned as cultural repositories of colonization and continue to exist as institutions rooted in imperialist histories and practices. The reframing considers what it means to see the functionality of whiteness as a system of possession and how to employ various anti-racist, decolonial and Black feminist methodologies to undo its cultural hegemony in the arts.
