So You Want to Learn about Decoloniality? Five Texts for Beginners What is decoloniality, decolonization, colonialism, postcolonialism, and coloniality? Why is it important to learn about it now? This piece outlines five recommended texts on decolonization/decolon…

A beautiful text by Selbi Durdieva on where to start reading on decoloniality, very much needed (for my students at least)

I know exactly where it is going, guys.
I am from fucking Russia, I can give you a lecture on Church’s involvement in the museums and heritage discourse.

Don’t scare the politicians by your woke ideology.
They are popularly elected and they are really interested in culture, do not write them off by their alignment only!

Yeah.
Sure.
Been there, done that.

Sometimes I feel like I need a poster ”Same Shit - Different Century” but like ”Same Shit - Different Political Regime”.
For instance, it is very interesting how the Swedish party of Christian Democrats is visiting Museum Association’s meetings second year in a row, with the same message:

"Like Amazon, but with human beings."

Kulturen får inte gå i nationalismens fälla | Magasin K Om kulturen används för att föra samman ett land riskerar vi att den används som propaganda. Det skriver Olga Zabalueva och Vladimir Okhnich.

And of course I couldn’t pass by and NOT preach about the dangers of nationalism-light.

Museipanelen i morse lyfte det upp (kudos till alla tre deltagare som svarade ”nej” på artikelns huvudfråga även om motiveringen skiljer sig)

"Our study of histories of genocide and mass atrocity gives us insight into the rise of authoritarianism and ethnonationalism; the processes of dehumanization, ethnic cleansing, and genocide that accompany it; and the urgent need for civil society resistance."

Spread the word & join us!

Ingen pip om klimat- eller miljöfrågor kring detta förresten. Roligt.

Bear with me, SE blurb from #sverigesmuseersvårmöte2025 comes

Årets museet blir Tekniska museet - för att ”gå ifrån det traditionella museet till det tekniska kulturhuset” 🎉

Intressant dock i samband med alla diskussioner kring museidefinitionen🤔

Well deserved 👏
And the whole list is amazing, I need to place some orders at my uni’s library!

Geekification of the office is going well 🌌🫡

Ska den svenska kulturen vara nationalistisk i kristider? | Magasin K För kulturens stiftelser, företag och föreningar finns en valfrihet – ska vi vara nationalistiska? Det skriver Niklas Cserhalmi.

The Swedish Museums Association’s chairman in his recent opinion peace declares that nationalism is a useful tool for culture for telling ”the truths beyond ideology and political struggles”.

Time until these people start citing Fukuyama: 3, 2, 1…

Ngl I was waiting for this kind of posts
