The colonial story of the art in our museums & why we need to talk about it” by Alice Procter. An essay examining the history of art display through a selection of objects and exhibitions.
We found it nuanced and tremendously informative. If you want to know whether museum should give back part of their collections or if towns should remove certain images from public display, the reflections in this book will help you think through a myriad of options. Publicly reflecting through these options could help us arrive at “solutions” that could both allow us to respect our current values while learning about the past. Highly recommended read!
