Decolonial Feminist Forum: Decolonising the Museum
When:
—
Venue:
Online
The Decolonial Feminist Forum resumes, meeting online in our usual slot at 5pm, last Friday of every month (term time only). During the spring term we will take stock of the past two years in which the pandemic changed our daily lives, work patterns and ways of socialising beyond recognition, affecting different communities differently and affecting those already marginalised and disenfranchised the most. During this term we will turn to the wealth of online content that has become available during the pandemic when most public events migrated into the digital realm. We aim to reflect on this material together by returning to selected talks that helped us think through decolonial and feminist politics and practices.
In this session we will discuss the recent lecture ‘Decolonizing the Museum?’ by Françoise Vergès, a French political scientist, antiracist and decolonial feminist activist. She is the cofounder of the French association ‘Decolonize the Arts’ and the author of A Decolonial Feminism (2021). Her work focuses on postcolonial studies and decolonial feminism.
