So grateful to @NatHistGirl and Professor Divya Tolia-Kelly for their insightful talks for us today @MCH for #MGHEdges. Both of them touched on the difficulty in embedding and funding #decolonial practice long term and thinking about the power relations therein

[Alix Ferrer-Yulfo @aferreryulfo]

#MGHEdges what would a post-imperial museum look like? What would post-imperial taxonomies feel like? How can we disrupt imperial ways of seeing? Key questions to think about #decolonising museums by Prof. Divya Tolia-Kelly @ICCHSNewcastle @mch_newcastle

[David Farrell-Banks @D_FarrellBanks]

Super excited that our 'Museums/Galleries/Heritage (Studies) From the Edges' series starts tomorrow.

Really enjoyed the thought provoking work @Casco_Utrecht and BAK yesterday. BAK asks ‘How to be together otherwise’ with both thinking deeply about the communal.

[David Farrell-Banks @D_FarrellBanks]

Great visit to @Savannah_Bay in Utrecht yesterday with @CharlFarrell and @EricaRobenalt. The oldest (and apparently last surviving dedicated) feminist bookshop in the Netherlands. We all got a bit carried away.
