Ariella Aïsha Azoulay: Unlearning Together at the Thresholds of Museums (ENG)
In this lecture, Ariella Aïsha Azoulay invites the audience to stay at the threshold of the museum in order to recognize the impossibility of decolonising museums without decolonising the world. Azoulay weaves the plunder of objects stolen from Jews in Europe – and their partial restitution within the broader picture of European plunder, in the aim of undoing the exceptionalization of the Jews as fashioned by Europe and providing a different understanding of plundered objects as communal remains.
