This research examines the educational and transformative potential of the Nosso Sagrado collection, an important example of Afro-Brazilian heritage at the Museu da República, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Guided by an interpretivist paradigm, it employs a qualitative case study with semi-structured interviews, fieldwork, and a literature and theoretical framework review. Reflexive thematic analysis explored the collection’s role in cultural accessibility, education, and the decolonisation of museum practices. Findings reveal its symbolic and political significance for Afro-Brazilian communities, persistent challenges, and the need for inclusive, community-led strategies. The study positions contested heritage as a catalyst for dialogue, reflection, and social change.
Representation and discourses of otherness : coca leaf and mambear in the Museum of America : (de)colonial thought and indigenous perspectives
(Tartu Ülikool, 2025) Pérez Mora, María Camila; Vallen, Nino, juhendaja; Põldsam, Rebeka, juhendaja; Francis, Dennis, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Kultuuriteaduste instituut
This dissertation investigates how the Museum of America in Madrid represents the Indigenous practice of mambear, often reducing it to stereotypes of drug use and exoticism rooted in colonial narratives. Such portrayals obscure its cultural, spiritual, and social meanings, reinforcing the marginalisation of Indigenous voices. The study pursues two aims: to critically analyse the museum’s discursive construction of mambear, and to explore alternative frameworks that support decolonial understandings of the practice. Grounded in postcolonial and decolonial theory and museum studies, it calls for more inclusive and critical representations that challenge the colonial legacies embedded in institutional discourse.
Scottish museums’ approaches to post-colonial narratives
(Tartu Ülikool, 2024) Terry, Ethan; Grima, Reuben John, juhendaja; Seljamaa, Elo-Hanna, juhendaja; McColl, Margaret, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Kultuuriteaduste instituut
This research uses Curating Discomfort in the Hunterian Museum and Glasgow – City of Empire in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum as case studies. This research is the first to examine the new permanent post-colonial displays in these two Scottish museums. The problems addressed are gaps regarding how emerging approaches to post-colonial interpretations can be practically implemented in Scottish museums and how curation processes can be decolonised. The purpose of this research is to determine how Scottish museums present post-colonial narratives, how democratic the curation process was and how effectively these approaches engaged visitors. The research is qualitative and constructivist. The data sources include interviews with relevant museum staff, visitor observations and documentary sources. The data was triangulated and analysed within a multiple case studies design. Whereas the Kelvingrove created an exhibit for these narratives, the Hunterian opted for an intervention centred around existing exhibit space. The key findings show that both projects were curated by temporary curatorial teams managed by an ethnic minority permanent curator. There was minimal outreach to source communities during the curation processes. Glasgow – City of Empire appeals to different types of learners through multiple types of display. Curating Discomfort fails to remind visitors to think critically meaning that the labels too often rely on didacticism. Glasgow – City of Empire prompted more tours of and stops within the space than Curating Discomfort. The research offers a guideline to other museums on how to approach post-colonial projects by highlighting good practice and outlining what pitfalls to avoid.
