What can you do to decolonise? Visit this online exhibition to get some clarity!

We invite you to become aware of the issues affecting Native American communities today and challenge the cultural appropriation you see every day and in your favourite museums -- as we challenge colonialism and appropriation in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Native American collection.

Visit the online exhibition

Existence is Resistance is part of a wider series of exhibitions and projects undertaken by MA students from the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies as part of an Interpretations course module.

The exhibition will be hosted online and can be accessed here from 7 December 2020 to 1 March 2021.
