Museums and Communities thoroughly and unflinchingly interrogates the widely touted goal of collaborative museum work, providing a realistic assessment of the risks and pitfalls, but also the incredible rewards that come with a deep curatorial commitment to working collaboratively. WILLIAM WOOD. Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA All too often museums invoke the idea of “community” in naive and uncritical ways. Here at last is an attempt to complicate this construction, unpick its politics, and explore its dynamics in the context of museum exhibition, engagement and outreach. This book has much to teach us about how museums imagine their communities and reminds us of the need to develop more sophisticated approaches to collaborative museology. PAUL BASU, University College London, UK Foregrounding new curatorial strategies, this volume addresses a significant gap in the literature by critically engaging with contemporary scholarship and exploring some of the complex issues arising from recent approaches to collaboration between museums and their communities. Over 16 chapters, well-respected authors from across the globe address what happens when museums put community-minded principles into practice, challenging readers to move beyond shallow notions of political correctness that ignore vital differences in this contested field. Contributors ask pertinent questions such as how museums negotiate the complexities of integrating collaboration when the target community is a living, fluid, changeable mass of people with their own agendas and agency? What particular challenges and benefits do artist collaborations bring? Recognizing the multiple perspectives of community participants is one thing, but how can museums incorporate this successfully into exhibition practice? Unpacking taken-for-granted notions such as scholarship, community, participation, and collaboration, this is essential reading for students of museum and cultural studies, practitioners, and everyone who cares about museums around the world. VIV GOLDING is Director of Research Students and Senior Lecturer in the School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester, UK. WAYNE MODEST is Head of the Curatorial Department at the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
