Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | It is widely understood that collaborative museum practices were ushered in by museums in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the 1990s, following the recognition that discriminatory and colonial agendas in museums had led to inequalities in representation and participation. Much less understood is that Bradford Museums Service was engaged with its local South Asian migrant community, laying foundations for more democratic ways of working as early as the 1970s. The work of Nima Poovaya-Smith, a curator at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery, Bradford, from 1985, built on this early work. Through an analysis primarily of interview extracts, this chapter explores the nuances of partnership between Cartwright Hall (a regional museum), its national partners, the local South Asian community, and individual curators. The evolving nature of collaboration is charted, showing a progression from accommodation of the South Asian community in temporary exhibition making to full-blown acceptance in the transformation of its permanent spaces. |
