Individual Allyship and Institutional Complicity in the Realm of Decolonial Initiatives in the British Arts Sector

这个项目调查了英国艺术界非殖民化倡议背景下的盟友形象。在一个占压倒性优势的白色部门中，可以定义为“非殖民化转向”，盟友的作用对于理解博物馆如何看待他们（过去和正在进行的）参与殖民项目至关重要。本研究通过对伦敦艺术机构样本中的白色工作人员进行定性研究，探讨了这种矛盾如何在个人层面上展开，以揭示参与者的自我理解以及他们的价值观与归属机构所占据的立场之间的关系。

This project investigates the figure of the ally in the context of decolonial initiatives in the British art world. In what could be defined as 'decolonial turn' within an overwhelmingly white sector, the role of the ally is crucial to understand how museums reckon with their (past and ongoing) participation in the colonial project. The study examines how such contradictions unfold at an individual level through qualitative research conducted with white members of staff within a sample of London-based art institutions, to uncover participants' self-understandings and the relationship between their values and the stances occupied by their institutions of belonging.
