ROM Africa Gallery Reinstallation
The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) – Canada’s largest encyclopedic museum – has a history of complex and fraught relationships with communities linked to its collections. Over the course of the TTTM project, we will embark on a reinstallation of the permanent Africa gallery through an anti-racist process grounded in fairly compensated community co-creation and co-curation. The project aims to open pathways of communication, accountability, education, and support between the ROM and diasporic communities, and will develop curatorial strategies that honour diverse, creative, and socially relevant perspectives.
