CCMPS Media and Creative Industries Research Seminar: Decolonisation as Cultural Justice: Realising Cultural Rights for Identity (Source) Communities in Museum PracticeFAB 1.01CCMPS Media and Creative Industries Research Seminar: Decolonisation as Cultural Justice: Realising Cultural Rights for Identity (Source) Communities in Museum Practice Dr. Melanie Stavrou, Dr. Hao Xie and Dr. Younggeon Byun This talk will explore how renewed approaches to museum decolonisation can advance cultural rights and contribute to wider cultural justice discourse. Using the East Asian heritage collections at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) as a central case study, the research investigates the institution's decolonial strategies, policies, and practices. Through an analysis of the narratives constructed around the Korean and Chinese collections, this research examines the politics of inclusion shaping these objects and evaluates current exhibition practices, interpretive frameworks, and modes of cultural communication. Also, informed by insights from museum academics and professionals, the study considers how the V&A negotiates its colonial legacies and critically assesses the extent to which its decolonising strategies are being realised in relation to broader developments in UK museums Thursday 26th February 2026 |
