When we think of colonialism, we usually think of politics, trade, or military power. But colonialism also shaped the way art is collected, displayed, valued, and understood. In this opening episode, we explore how objects from Africa, Asia, and South America found their way into European museums, why some works were labelled "art" while others were treated as curiosities, and how museums helped shape our ideas about culture and beauty. A thoughtful introduction to the connections between art, power, and the stories we choose to tell.
