SUMMARY:World Museum: World Museum: Liverpool Biennial 2023 at World Museum
DESCRIPTION:Liverpool Biennial 2023 at World Museum\n10 June – 17 Septemb
 er 2023\n\nExhibition is open weekly on Tuesday\, Wednesday\, Thursday\, F
 riday\, Saturday &amp\; Sunday. Check venue opening times for further info
 rmation.\n\nAt the World Museum\, Brook Andrew and Gala Porras-Kim examine
  how museum spaces can be used to both understand the past and speculate o
 n the future.\n\nBrook Andrew’s ‘SMASH IT’ (2018) is a digital amalg
 amation of images\, videos\, sound and text. Archival film from the Smiths
 onian Institute collides with found footage and media samples from the art
 ist’s collection. Andrew co-opts and reframes ethnographic photographs\,
  newspaper extracts\, film footage and other cultural objects to dismantle
  racist stereotypes of First Nations people. The work complicates colonial
  archives and their embedded ideologies by repurposing archival materials 
 to subvert dominant narratives. Throughout\, interviews with prominent Aus
 tralian Indigenous intellectuals\, including Marcia Langton\, Wesley Enoch
  and Maxine Briggs\, are juxtaposed against imagery of demolished and defa
 ced Western statuary and monuments to colonial power. In its cacophony of 
 voices and materials\, ‘SMASH IT’ brings colonial archives into conver
 sation with the present moment\, inviting us to consider their contemporar
 y legacies and international relevance.\n\nGala Porras-Kim’s ‘Roll Cal
 l’ (2023) is an audio piece\, resurrecting the names of those who have p
 assed and been reincarnated into objects now stored in museum collections.
  According to their beliefs\, the deceased left conservation instructions 
 for their names to be spoken aloud as their bodies were preserved for rein
 carnation. Porras-Kim honours their wishes and presents a whispered readin
 g of their names\, bestowing agency on the dead and questioning museum con
 servation models. This work builds on Porras-Kim’s interest in the insti
 tutional and linguistic frameworks that define\, legitimise and preserve c
 ultural heritage. It invites us to question the ethical principles of muse
 ological conservation and to imagine new meanings for artefacts displayed 
 inside museums or assembled in its storages.\n\n\n\n\n
