The publication reflects on the tasks, strategies and forms of action
of museums and exhibitions from the perspective of postcolonial museology and critical migration and regime research. The
critical analysis of existing approaches is intended to make curating conceivable as an anti-racist practice.
Focusing
on agency and the interfaces between social fields of conflict and curatorial practices, the authors analyse the relationship
between struggles for and against the representation of specific topics. In this sense, the focus is on strategies of talking
back as well as contact zones and approaches to re-appropriation.
