Welcome to TTTM’s Blog
This page offers a peek into what TTTM is doing and thinking behind the scenes. We showcase short texts related to TTTM’s activities and events, including SnapThoughts, a form developed by the Museum Queeries cluster. Authors are primarily members of the Emerging Scholars & Practitioners Committee (ESPC) with occasional contributions by other TTTM team members or guests, including a twice-yearly project director’s update.
Innovations in Indigenizing the Gallery: An Interview with Curator Wanda Nanibush at the Art Gallery of Ontario
In light of Anishinaabe-kwe curator Wanda Nanibush’s recent, troubling, and abrupt departure from the Art Gallery of Ontario, we are sharing this interview from the forthcoming book Beyond Museum Walls (Jagiellonian/Columbia University Press), in which Thinking Through the Museum’s Heather Igloliorte converses with Nanibush about the tremendous Indigenous and decolonial accomplishments Wanda and her colleagues realized at the AGO during her tenure. The interview was conducted in 2019 on behalf of the Beyond Museum Walls research project (funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada), but the publication was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic; the book will now be published in early 2024.
