Museums As Agents Of Cultural Reclamation And Future Discourse

At a time when whitewashing is the norm, the assertion of black civilisation, its culture and artifact are seemingly rebellious. Started in 2018, this Museum celebrates the art and culture of different African communities. Indigeneity of the art forms here counter the white hegemony. As it came into being, several people even asked to the former European masters to give them back the stolen artefacts. Outlook India in collaboration with Bihar Museum looks at all those innovative Museums that evoke the memories to shape the future discourse.

The Delhi event will also become a museological space for an evening to look at everyday objects from Bihar from a not-so-distant past and their relationship with memory and culture and inclusive representation of various identities and crafts.

In a unique collaboration with Bihar Museum, the Outlook Group brings a series of panel discussions on museums, their roles, and their evolution as part of the Bihar Museum Biennale’s second edition - as the second of such discussions take place on 24th June at Bikaner House, New Delhi.
