Ideal for museum professionals, educators, and scholars interested in participatory methods, social inclusion, and the challenges museums face in adapting to diverse audiences, particularly forced migrants.

Many museum projects address migration and invite forced migrants to speak for themselves – but to what ends and with which outcomes?

Description

How do participatory museum projects with forced migrants impact both the museum and the participants? Based on interviews with museum practitioners, mediators and project participants, Susanne Boersma brings together unique insights into museum work with forced migrants.

She assesses projects in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK to illustrate how museums' (post)colonial infrastructures limit the potential of their increasingly social role. This study reveals the diverging objectives, experiences and outcomes of participatory projects, and finds ways in which these might be united in practice.

The Aftermaths of Participation offers a critical examination of these dynamics, shedding light on the challenges and possibilities inherent in such cooperative efforts.
