ARHI138 PO - Reclaiming Native American Art in MuseumsWhen Offered: Fall 2023.
Instructor(s): M. Roberts
Credit: 1
This course introduces students to the history, and theory, of representing Native American Art in museums. Using the Benton Art Museum’s assemblage of Native American artifacts, we will explore the colonial origins of museums, how these practices have shaped the way we define Native American art today, and if “decolonizing museums” is possible. Lastly, we will study some collaborative practices that contemporary Native artists, curators, scholars, community members, and activists utilize to re-contextualize, reclaim, and transform historic collections and displays.
