Today at the #IBLS , we "visit" the @africamuseumbe to discuss the practices of exhibiting #Europe 's #colonial #past. Now, @brunoverbergt introduces the history of the museum.
And @brunoverbergt explains the change of concept the @africalmuseumbe implemented in the last 6 years.
Discussion point: can a new architecture help to enforce a change of concept (decolonization) within the @africamuseumbe ? We take a look at a new pavillion with a framed "vista" to focus on the meaning on the old museum buildings...
and @brunoverbergt introduces modes of #commemoration the victims of colonial crimes in the architecture of the museum.
and of course there are still limits to decolonizing a museum like the @africamuseumbe, as Verbergt explains with a virtual tour through the museum
@brunoverbergt mentions the discourse on #restitution, I hope we can get more information on that in the discussion time...
our question regard the diversity of the curator-team for the new exhibitions and the practice of #intervention to encourage the change of perspective for decolonization...
Now, we are introduced to the educational program to the @africamuseumbe
