Decolonizing the Museum of Us - Ep 61


Listen Later

On today’s podcast Jessica interviews Kara Vetter, Director of Cultural Resources at the Museum of Us, and Eva Trujillo (Siny ‘Iipay, Mesa Grande Band of Mission Indians), UCSD’s Repatriation Coordinator and Museum of Us Board Trustee). This conversation is a deep dive into the Museum of Us’ Decolonization efforts. First, we talk about the colonial history of the museum and the impetus of the decolonization efforts. Then we move into the four guiding principles they are using to do this work and how they have incorporated them at the museum. Finally we talk about advice they’d give to other museums trying to make similar efforts and their dream visions for the future of the museum.
