- Title
DISRUPTING NARRATIVES OF COLONIZATION--MUSEUMS AS PEDAGOGICAL SPACES.
- Authors

- Abstract
Drawing on an autoethnographic approach, we explore the role of museums in contributing to a decolonizing discourse. Through a guided tour of the Alex Janvier exhibition at the Glenbow Museum, a review of additional artifacts associated with the exhibition, and autoethnographic texts, we have come to see the deep potential of public institutions to be sites of disruption and possibility. This exhibition challenged discourses that lift dominant cultural narratives and offered other possibilities for social transformation. In particular, we explore the power of art as a pathway for disrupting personal narratives, which, in turn, has implications for social, political, and cultural narratives.
