Humanities Ph.D. student, Christina De Vreeze, will defend her dissertation titled "A Redefined Conceptualization of Aesthetics for the Museum: The Pluriverse WITHin the Museum". This dissertation uses Kant's and postcolonial philosophical aesthetics as a lens to argue that the Museum of Empire, in its decolonization process, requires a redefined concept of aesthetics. Using the looted Benin Bronzes as an example, the aesthetic lens reveals that ethics is missing in the decolonization efforts, as the decolonization debate only examines the formal qualities of the colonially looted art and artifacts, silencing the Indigenous descendants of the enslaved Bini citizens. The redefined concept of aesthetics reveals the need for relational ethics. Additionally, the relational aspect of aesthetics also involves the social and transformative dimensions of art.
