Current engagement projects
Africanize
How can art be useful in addressing the lasting effects of historical power imbalances? How do we challenge the colonial-collector mindset and explore the University’s collections with diverse contemporary audiences? Africanize is delivered in collaboration with We Don’t Settle and is an ongoing community-driven project exploring the African Collection.
