Decolonizing Art Manifesto
WHAT IS IN A MUSEUM?
WHAT GOES IN A GALLERY?
WHERE DID THE OBJECTS COME FROM?
WHO BELONGS THERE?
WHAT BELONGS THERE?
WHY ARE THEY RELEVANT?
HOW’D IT GET TO BE THAT WAY?
WHAT IS THE CONVERSATION?
DO YOU LIKE THEM?
WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM AFTER THE EXHIBITION GOES DOWN?
WHO ARE WE TO SELECT THEM?
WHY CAN’T YOU TOUCH THEM?
WHY ARE THEY IN FRAMES?
IN CASES?
IN CASES? PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE ART.
PLEASE DON’T HANG TEXTILES MEANT FOR WEARING ON THE WALL
PLEASE DON’T HANG A BASKET ON THE WALL
WHY IS IT THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND?
WHY ARE THEY ALL PEOPLE?
WHY ARE SOME OF THEM ON NOTEBOOK PAPER?
WHY THIS ARRANGEMENT? WHY THESE OBJECTS?
IS IT INTENTIONAL?
I DON’T KNOW, DOES IT FEEL LIKE IT IS TO YOU?
WHY AREN’T WE TELLING YOU MORE ABOUT THE OBJECTS?
WELL, WE DIDN’T MAKE THEM.
