Monumental Shadows: On museums, memory and the making of history

This publication brings together essays, interviews and visual contributions from artists and writers to think through some of the most pressing debates around material heritage and museums today. What might the testimony of objects and artefacts tell us? How will the dispersal of power and artefacts from Western encyclopaedic museums generate new relationships and entangled histories? The publication explores the terrain of material heritage, colonial heritage, reparation and museology.
