{"product_id":"museums-and-social-justice","title":"Museums and Social Justice","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile the traditional role of museums has been to collect, conserve, and exhibit historically significant artifacts, the institutions themselves have often ignored or bypassed important conversations around social justice. In recent years, as these conversations have become more mainstream, museums have attempted to meet the moment by committing to core principles like accessiblity, diversity, and sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, as \u003cem\u003eMuseums and Social Justice\u003c\/em\u003e author and museum director Maura Reilly makes clear, modern museums are falling far short of their commitments and are dragging their feet on promises to return stolen artifacts. With chapters examing decolonization, toxic philanthropy, and legacies of theft and looting, Reilly offers a thoughtful and informed critique of the progess of museums, noting how far these institutions have come and how much work remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing from a wide range of examples of museums from the U.K. to Nigeria, this scholarly work is a well researched and provocative read that would be perfect for folks with an interest in art, history, and social justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCheck out the rest of our \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.designist.ie\/collections\/books\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ebooks \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- we have a good few of them here at designist. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho wrote it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaura Reilly\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it come?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ehardback, \u003cspan\u003e23.5 x 18 x 2 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eapprox., 198 pages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thames\u0026Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59005459890508,"sku":"TH-MUS-SOC","price":29.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/5892\/files\/museumsandsocialjustice-designist-1.png?v=1793368134","url":"https:\/\/shop.designist.ie\/products\/museums-and-social-justice","provider":"designist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
