Abstract
This master’s thesis examines how radical care practices and community participation can help dissolve colonial legacies and create frameworks that serve all communities in the decolonization of ethnological museums, with a focus on accountability and the artist–museum encounter. It analyzes the roles of artists (especially from the Global South), museums, curators, policymakers, and society in developing care-centered, collaborative, and equitable practices that challenge the Western Museum Paradigm and promote more inclusive cultural representation. Using a decolonial methodology, the study investigates power inequalities, the ongoing effects of coloniality, and the need for transformational institutional reform, while questioning the assumed separation of art and life in light of Indigenous knowledge systems. The work emphasizes pluralistic dialogue, community building, and carefuturism as paths toward meaningful repair. Based on the table of contents, interview transcripts are included, indicating a qualitative component; however, specific empirical findings are not provided in this excerpt.
Denne kandidatafhandling undersøger, hvordan radikale omsorgspraksisser og fællesskabsdeltagelse kan bidrage til at opløse koloniale arv og skabe rammer, der tjener alle i arbejdet med at afkolonisere etnologiske museer, med særlig vægt på ansvarlighed og mødet mellem kunstner og museum. Afhandlingen analyserer rollerne for kunstnere (især fra det Globale Syd), museer, kuratorer, beslutningstagere og samfundet i at udvikle omsorgscentrerede, samarbejdende og retfærdige praksisser, der udfordrer det vestlige museumsparadigme og fremmer mere inkluderende repræsentation af kunst og kultur. Med en dekolonial metode undersøges magtuuligheder, kolonialitetens vedvarende virkninger og behovet for transformativ institutionel reform, samtidig med at den antagne adskillelse mellem kunst og liv problematiseres i lyset af oprindelige videnssystemer. Arbejdet fremhæver pluralistisk dialog, fællesskabsopbygning og carefuturism som veje til meningsfuld reparation. Ifølge indholdsfortegnelsen indgår interviewtransskriptioner, hvilket tyder på et kvalitativt element; konkrete empiriske resultater fremgår dog ikke af dette uddrag.
