Abstract:
Looking at the colonial nature of museums and cultural institutions, this thesis focuses on the work of Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama by proposing his installation piece "Parliament of Ghosts" as a pedagogical tool for the decolonisation of art spaces. Bringing together curatorial analysis, decolonial praxis and institutional critique, this research shows how a pedagogic approach in art practices can lead to the creation of new spaces that subvert established structures.
