A Programme of Absolute Disorder

In "A Programme of Absolute Disorder," Françoise Vergès critically examines the Western museum tradition, challenging the concept of the universal museum as a product of colonialism that perpetuates power imbalances. Through an exploration of the Louvre's history, she reveals how these institutions claim to preserve global heritage while often neglecting the voices of the marginalized. Vergès proposes a radical approach to truly decolonize museums, advocating for innovative ways to engage with the world that promote justice and dignity for the dispossessed.
