Resumen

En el contexto de dos proyectos de prácticas, uno en el Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) en Estados Unidos y el otro en el Museo Universitario Universidad de Antioquia (MUUA) en Colombia, este artículo contrasta cómo los artesanos y las comunidades indígenas de América Latina están representados en las exposiciones. Me baso en la perspectiva de Study Up y Critical Museum Studies para analizar las raíces coloniales de los museos de ambos países y cómo se perpetúan o enfrentan a través de la creación de exposiciones actuales. Mediante la recopilación metodológica de registros etnográficos y de archivo, este ensayo cuestiona el ejercicio del poder curatorial y el papel de la antropología, el antropólogo y los grupos subalternos.
