Abstract

Engaging with the artistic practice of Jacqueline Hoàng Nguyễn, who was artist in residence in 2015 at the Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm, curator Michael Barrett reflects on the current moment of intense reckoning with the colonial past and present in world culture museums throughout Europe. Inspired and challenged by Hoàng Nguyễn's practice, the article approaches the uncomfortable aspects of curatorial decisionmaking: the subjective, the personal, and dealing with the emotional politics of violent and harmful legacies encountered in archival work.
