Piercing the Glass: Objects Beyond the Museum Vitrine

A participatory workshop by Dr Neha Khetrapal examining how decolonial frameworks challenge conventional understanding of museum provenance. The workshop explores how heritage objects acquire meaning through communal practices, ritual life, ecological relationships, and systems of belief, using case studies from India and Rajasthan. It is designed for museum professionals, curators, educators, researchers, and cultural practitioners, combining conceptual reflection with collaborative exercises relevant to museum, gallery, and heritage contexts.
