Museums and Migration - a dialogue between David Dibosa and Seph Rodney
Open Lecture
A conversation between two London-based scholars who each, in their current research, are focusing on the museographic experiences of migrant viewers.
What are the narratives generated by museums, particularly national museums? To whom are these narratives addressed? What forces inform the visits to museums by persons from migrant or diasporic backgrounds? In their respective projects, Dibosa and Rodney challenge conventional tools of audience analysis by paying close attention to the visitor’s voice and to the ways in which it is carried and heard.
