He is responsible for the care of more than 25,000 objects from different parts of the world and his work includes building active collaborative provenance research with diaspora and descendant communities. Our discussion focused on this collaborative approach to re-imagining meanings and explored why such an approach to decolonisation is important. This episode was recorded following a collaborative object-handling session with local African diaspora community groups - you can read more about this event here. You can read further about decolonisation methodology and Njabulo’s work with Manchester Museum in the following article: Chipangura, Njabulo. 2023. “ The Benin Tusk and Zulu Beadwork: Practicing Decolonial Work at Manchester Museum Through Shared Authority.” Museum Anthropology 46(2): 106–116. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/34eKvcAVlDrP6gEzAeHJI4-rhEOojPfgDx7RjhxfsAM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81MjI0/ZDVjMTUwYzhhZTY3/ZTU0NDMxODlkOTli/NmQ3Yi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
