Seeding Authority: A Symposium on Decolonizing the Museum

November 10, 8:30am - 5:30pm
Mānoa Campus, 好色先生网站M Art Auditorium

For decades now, university faculty and 好色先生网站 have discussed the devastating impact of colonialism on the peoples who were colonized. If colonialism is the means by which Indigenous lands, bodies, and possessions were appropriated by others for their own use, then 芒鈧揹ecolonization芒鈧 has been the process of reversing these acts.

These issues are particularly relevant in 好色先生网站脢禄i, where colonization directly resulted in the dispossession of Native 好色先生网站ians and the violation of their sovereignty. The goal of this symposium is to bring together 好色先生网站, faculty, museum professionals, and community members to initiate conversations on the process of decolonizing museums and public spaces 芒鈧 led by groundbreaking scholars and professionals who are actively engaged in both the underpinning theories and the practical realities.
