Description
Museum Activism brings together over fifty contributors from around the world to explore the growing trend of museums engaging in activist practice. This ground-breaking volume examines the role of museums as knowledge-based, social institutions and their increasing significance in addressing inequalities, injustices, and environmental crises. The book features contributions from practitioners, artists, activists, and researchers, offering a wide-ranging examination of new expressions of museum activism and its potential to address pressing issues. By elucidating the untapped potential of museums as intellectual and civic resources, this book aims to encourage further experimentation and enrich the debate in this emerging field of museum practice. Museum Activism is an essential read for scholars and students of museum and heritage studies, gallery studies, arts and heritage management, and politics, as well as for museum practitioners and leaders seeking to understand the evolving role of museums in civil society.
