The row centres around the exhibition ‘This is Colonialism’ and the museum’s decision to restrict white people from entering a small section of the display
Police officers are gathered in front of the Zeche Zollern museum in Dortmund, the focus of what social networks are describing as a racism scandal.
The row centres around the exhibition ‘This is Colonialism’ and the museum’s decision to restrict white people from entering a small section of the display. For several months now, Saturdays at the museum have been reserved for black people and people of colour to explore a colonialism exhibition
The museum claims the objective is not to be discriminatory, but to reserve a safe space for reflection for non-whites.
This seems fine to me? Why shouldn’t they have a specific day to go and reflect without me being there?
Maybe that’s the only day of the week you have available to go. Maybe it doesn’t help inclusionary cultural practices to intentionally separate races.
Oh no i cannot go to a museum in the only 4 hours that i am free during the whole week. Discrimination!
