I‘ve never been particularly interested in art, slowly but surely it‘s significance is becoming clearer to me though. This book was thought provoking and educating simultaneously, and I’ll take many of its messages and perceptions with me for the next days, weeks, months.

This one took me a while to finish but I’m glad that I took the time. This book is a mostly jargon free reflection on the history of museums and their historical and contemporary connections to colonialism and injustice.

As an arthistory student (living in Europe and learning mostly about European art) this was an important read which SHOULD be on our curriculum!
Not only does Procter include examples of artworks which have to be analyzed from a postcolonial pov, she also does a great job explaining her reasoning behind it.
Would highly recommend this to anybody who is interested in learning about how institutions (museums, galeries, etc.) shape our way of percieving art!
