MUSEUMFUTURES AFRICA CURRICULUM 2023

Nashilongweshipwe Mushaandja (steering committee member, facilitator and project conceptualiser) and Sophia Olivia Sanan (project manager). Furthermore, we would like to thank: Tatiana Page, Rebecca Corey and Abiti Nelson (curriculum advisors for version one), Vumile Mavumengwana (logo and brand design), Graeme Arendse (design and layout), Chao Maina Tayiana and Patrick Mudekereza (specialised sessions), and Alassane Diallo and Amadou Kethiel Kebe (translations).


The MuseumFutures Africa curriculum is now in its second iteration, the first was developed over many months from 2020 - 2021 and was responsive to the needs and experiences of the first group of museum practitioners that used the curriculum with their respective study groups. Numerous project partners and collaborators gave inputs at different moments into this curriculum which thus reflects a collective work output. And we intend that it is further utilised and modified according to local contexts.

The idea behind this open-source curriculum is that any museum (or cultural organisation) can utilise this document as the guideline for a series of group workshops focused on identifying spaces for institutional change. The eight sessions work through a number of themes, and aim to strengthen a collective process, culminating in a session that plans a tangible practical museum project. The 2023 curriculum is available in Portuguese and English, while the 2021 curriculum is available in French and English.
