Global Art Histories as Method
In collaboration with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Global Art Histories Pedagogy (GAHP) project examines how conceptualizing digital content for museum apps intended for the public helps researchers to address implicit biases and systemic issues early in the research design of art-historical projects. As a point of departure, participants select and respond to an object related to their research topic from the museum’s innovative intercultural and transhistorical exhibition Arts of One World. The proposed global art histories as a method prioritizes decolonizing research, the process of self-reflexive positionality, and inclusion of diverse worldviews and ways of being.
