A programme of absolute disorder : decolonizing the museum
Vergès, Françoise, 1952-2024
Books
The Western museum is a battleground - a terrain of ideological, political and economic contestation. Calls for its decolonisation have washed like great breakers over the institution; almost everyone today wants to 'rethink the museum'. But how many have the audacity to question the very presuppositions of the universal museum itself? In 'A Programme of Absolute Disorder', Françoise Vergès puts the museum in its place.
