Only Collections in the Building

Only Collections In The Building, hosted by Heba Abd El Gawad and Johanna Zetterstrom-Sharp, asks what it means in practice to put people before collections by sharing our experience working together on All Eyes on Her!, a community-collaborative exhibition at the Horniman. Activists, artists, and indigenous practitioners are being invited to intervene in or disrupt museum spaces with the aim to bring change. In this series we explore how meaningful collaboration relies on much larger structural or professional changes that they rarely have the power to implement. Hosted on Acast.
