Njabulo Chipangura: "Whose Stories are Told by Museums with African Collections from Colonial Contexts"
In this talk, Njabulo Chipangura will look at what it means to relationally care for African collections from colonial contexts in view of collaborating with and giving access to diaspora African communities as part of decolonisation. An empirical practice of decolonisation informed by notions of relational care and the disobedient museum will be presented drawn from his own practice and positionality having been the curator of collections at Manchester Museum between 2022–2025.
He argues that curating with care is not only a way of work but is a theoretical perspective that challenges structural discrimination, sexism, racism, systematic injustices and colonial legacies in museums. Care is also extended in this discussion to look at what it means to care for each other’s pluriversality of epistemologies and ontologies by subverting epistemicides that are still embedded in museums.
