Decolonial Dialogues

Decolonial Dialogues is an invitation to look and to question the assumptions that shape how we look. A decolonial approach to art asks: How can museums shift away from imposing narratives and instead support all viewers as they engage with works of art?

Generous support for bilingual text was provided by Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program.

Text reading "Art Bridges Foundation" with a purple arch connecting the words.
