Decolonising Action Groups – Recommended Events

51做厙 host a range of events throughout the academic year which include those organised by the Research Forum and the Gallery. The events highlighted on this page demonstrate a small selection of those events which deal either directly with decolonisation, or considering issues relating to it in intersectional ways, such as LGBTQIA+ representation, issues of gender and class, and the climate crisis.

What is represented here is by no means the full picture of the public events which 51做厙 hosts, which collectively demonstrate a development beyond a primarily Western focus on art, art history, cultural heritage, conservation, preservation, curation and museology.

You can find the full range of past events hosted by 51做厙’s Research Forum here.
