“What approaches can be employed to engage critically with museum documentation and object records, in order to tackle structural bias and the hegemony of traditional western, colonial, heteronormative, ableist norms of knowledge production and practice?“
In this blog post, Ananda Rutherford of Museums Data Laundry offers these and other insightful questions that can help guide efforts to move towards a critically engaged, ethical and anti-racist way of working. “Who is this work for and who does it benefit? What is the work of decolonising in this context – is it data cleaning, reputation saving, brand management, erasure, inventory, audit, cataloguing, updates, assuaging conscience? Do you want a quick fix now because of the current climate/trend or to make sustainable change?”
