Description
Responding to recent and ongoing efforts to decolonise the art history curriculum and the museum, the conference will bring together researchers, curators and practitioners, from Higher Education and the museums sector, to begin to address these questions:How can we critically address the legacy of empire and its multifaceted manifestations in visual imagery and material culture?
How can we tackle colonialism and capitalism’s ongoing impact on the production of knowledge, and challenge Eurocentric frameworks in the field of art, art history and art education?
What might anti-racist and decolonial education look like in the predominantly white art history classroom?
How can images and artworks become catalysts to engage in productive, but perhaps uncomfortable, conversations around race, racism and empire?
How do we address histories of colonial violence and racial oppression without centring whiteness?
What are best practice examples in the field and what are the challenges?
How can art historians, artists and museum practitioners learn from each other?
