Roundtable Abstract:

Our commonplace understanding of museums typically stems from specific Euro-American ideologies of identity, temporality, cultural politics and cultural industry. Our heritage experience is thus framed through specific itineraries of experience that ultimately guide us through a logic of consumption. Can we think otherwise? What can experiences from Africa, Asia or South America in terms of relating to heritage objects differently?
