History of Art Research Seminar Series, Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh

Online and on campus at Hunter Building Lecture Theatre (0.17), 74 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh, EH3 9DF

17.15 - 18.30

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.
