The anthology
Curating as Anti-Racist Practice
reflects upon museums and exhibitions from the perspective of postcolonial museology, and critical migration and regime research.
Beyond critical analysis, this collection of texts is about collecting strategies and forms of action that make it possible
to think of curating as anti-racist practice. Using as springboards the intersections between social battlefields and curatorial
practices, as well as a focus on agency, this book examines the relationality of struggles for and against representation.
Therefore, the focus is on discursive strategies of resistance, contact zones and approaches to re-appropriation.
The German-language original edition of the book, Kuratieren
als anti-rassistische Praxis was published in 2017 within Edition Angewandte at De Gruyter.Natalie
