Offentligheden er vendt tilbage: Kunstudstillinger til debat på Sydafrikas Nationalgalleri
Denne artikel viser, hvordan udstillingen af kunst på nationalgalleriet i Sydafrika blev diskuteret og redefineret på baggrund af krav om ligeværdig adgang: ikke alene til at besøge museer og kunstgallerier, men også til at blive respektfuldt repræsenteret på galleriernes vægge og inddraget i beslutningerne om, hvad der skal udstilles. Artiklen analyserer den kritik, som de tre hvide kuratorer bag udstillingen Our Lady (2016) blev mødt med fra en…

In the absence of Rhodes: Decolonizing South African universities
This paper examines the ways in which the decolonization of South African universities was imagined and performed by members of the Rhodes Must Fall movement during the removal of the statue of Rhodes on the University of Cape Town in 2015. Showing how their demands can be seen as a move away from the reconciliation and non-racialist approach of the Rainbow Nation towards a re-racialized debate, in which victimhood is reconfigured, I argue that, …
