History is speckled with museums as one of the key repositories of material culture, However, in an age increasingly defined by digitalisation and calls for decentralisation, perhaps the time is nigh to abandon our acknowledgment of the museum’s monolithic centrality in defining the historicity of events and activities in human existence, so as to approach a more pluralistic understanding of our histories.

The exhibition and its works debated over the value of artworks and purpose of museums in today’s context. Watch the short video HERE to hear about the curator John Tung’s take and inspiration behind this.
