Reimagining Colonialism and Empire: Creative Approaches to Marginalised Narratives at the Oriental Museum Open Access

Museums are under increasing pressure to acknowledge – and in some cases make reparations for – unethical collecting practices of the past, and also to address the legacy of institutional bias that has historically favoured Western cultural narratives. Gaps in documentation mean that the histories of many objects collected during the colonial era remain incomplete. Like many museums specialising in non-European material culture, the collections of Durham University’s Oriental Museum encompass objects whose provenance is to some degree unknown – and in some cases unknowable. Confronting these gaps can shed light on the impact of colonialism on collecting practice, but to do so requires innovative approaches to object interpretation.
