Reframing Power: Whose Stories Do Museums Tell?
This panel examines how museums can redistribute power through storytelling, collaboration, and shared authorship. Panellists challenge dominant narratives by drawing from case studies in the Caribbean, Arabian Gulf, and Southeast Asia that explore collective practice, decolonial museology, and community-led frameworks. Looking to the future, the session will explore how to advance more equitable, inclusive approaches to cultural representation and knowledge-making.
