In this lecture, Professor Azoulay addresses the impossibility of decolonising colonial museums, such as the Belgian Royal Museum for Central Africa, without decolonising the world. Addressing how stolen art, regime of documents and contemporary refugeeism are historically connected, she provides a transnational perspective on decolonisation.
Following the lecture, there's a panel discussion with Ariella Aïsha Azoulay and Katarzyna Ruchel-Stockmans, moderated by Patricia da Costa (WeDecolonizeVUB) and a Q&A with the audience.
This event is curated by Hari Prasad Sacré, Arshia Ali Azmat & Hoda Siahtiri in collaboration with Kaaitheater, VUB Crosstalks, WeDecolonizeVUB, Brussels Research Centre on Innovation in Learning & Diversity (BILD) at VUB and Cinema Palace, with the support of Sint-Lucas Antwerp and Constant vzw.
