About this Event
Join History of Art for the next talk in the Research Seminar Series chaired by Dr George Agbo.
This lecture will be hybrid. Please book your ticket for attendance in person or online.
In this talk, the decolonial analytical tool of coloniality of power, knowledge and being is utilised to examine the injustices and power imbalance in heritagisation within and outside museum space, in and outside Nigeria/Africa. It interrogates how decolonial engagements could begin to recognise other realities and ways of knowing and doing heritage beyond the asymmetric universality.
