Museum as Crime Scene: Contested Histories, East Asian Art, and Interventions
Join Melanie King for a discussion of objects in museum collections that have been acquired through looting or purchase during times of distress or war. Using sites and objects from East Asia as a case study, we will discuss objects held by museums outside of their original context and trace how they came to reside in a museum. By examining objects with contested histories we will ask questions of these objects and institutions while also generating ideas for interventions for students to engage.
