Queer identities and heritage: current developments and hopes for the future. by Nicole Moolhuijsen
An instructive example of how such an organization may look like is the experimental Van Abbemuseum. For a number of years the institution engaged in various projects that challenged modernist, heteronormative and colonial structures of truth (Rensma et al., 2019). These initiatives have a particular symbolic importance in a museum that exhibits modern and contemporary art – a type of material culture traditionally exhibited from the modernist canon – and which is the legacy of a private collector linked to the colonial system. Gay projects at the Van Abbemuseum own taken multiple forms, ranging from the possibility to study artworks from homosexual perspectives (reading communication on visitors’ clothes rather than on traditional labels) to the long-term involvement of multiple lgbtq+ constituencies, who jointly shape the institution’s cultural production.
