Yet, Fran\u00e7oise Verg\u00e8s argues that the decolonization of the Western museum is impossible if we adopt Frantz Fanon\u2019s remark that &#8220;Decolonization is a program of absolute disorder\u201d (1961). In this conversation, Verg\u00e8s retraces the connection between collecting and colonialism, explores the capacity of neoliberalism to commodify critiques, and presents the project of a \u201cmuseum without objects\u201d and different decolonial practices of the arts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaker: <\/span><b>Fran\u00e7oise Verg\u00e8s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Political Scientist, Historian and Curator; Author of &#8220;A Feminist Theory of Violence: A Decolonial Perspective&#8221; (Pluto Press, 2022)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conversation with <\/span><strong>Katia Arfara<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Curator; Assistant Professor of Theater, Performance Studies, NYUAD<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In collaboration with <strong>Global Crossroads Initiative<\/strong> of New York University Abu Dhabi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this conversation, Verg\u00e8s retraces the connection between collecting and colonialism, explores the capacity of neoliberalism to commodify critiques, and presents the project of a \u201cmuseum without objects\u201d and different decolonial practices of the arts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3235,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[22],"class_list":["post-3232","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tribe_events_cat-culture-rights-and-representation","cat_culture-rights-and-representation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/researchkitchens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/3232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/researchkitchens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/researchkitchens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/researchkitchens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/researchkitchens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3232"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/researchkitchens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/3232\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3234,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/researchkitchens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/3232\/revisions\/3234"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/researchkitchens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/researchkitchens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/researchkitchens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3232"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/researchkitchens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=3232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
