Displaying to Erase. Decolonising to Colonise | The Use of Contemporary Art in Plantation Museums in

Public Talk | October 24, 2025 | 14.30 - 16.30 | Gerbrandszaal, Wereldmuseum Leiden
The Research Center for Material Culture is pleased to invite you to our public talk with our research fellow Christine Chivallon. We are looking forward to engaging with Chivallon's current research and questionings around how the Martinican elite is using artistic patronage as a neo-colonial tool for memory erasure? How can the act of exhibiting result in erasing?
