An impressive critique of the universal museum as complicit in the damages inflicted by colonial power –Isaac Julien, artist and filmmaker
Should fascinate anyone interested in social justice, post-colonialism and the arts —Euronews
Powerful and so relevant —DiacritikThe Western museum is a battleground–a terrain of ideological, political, and economic contestation. Almost everyone today wants to rethink the museum, but how many have the audacity to question the idea of the universal museum itself?In A Programme of Absolute Disorder, Fran oise Verg s puts the museum in its place. Exploring the Louvre’s history, she uncovers the context in which the universal museum emerged: as a product of colonialism, and of Europe’s self-appointed claim to be the guardian of global heritage.Verg s outlines a radical horizon: to truly decolonize the museum is to implement a programme of absolute disorder, inventing other ways of apprehending the human and non-human world that nourish collective creativity and bring justice and dignity to the dispossessed.
