DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Gala Porras-Kim discusses recent work th
 at considers how objects in collections are shaped by multiple actors\, so
 me of them non-consenting collaborators: the artists who create them\, the
  collectors who establish their contexts\, and the curators\, conservators
 \, and registrars who classify\, preserve\, and present them. The works ex
 amine how historical objects are transformed by the classificatory systems
  applied to them\, tracing shifting taxonomies that position them as histo
 rical\, institutional\, natural\, or otherwise. These categories not only 
 shape how objects are understood but also determine which relationships\, 
 histories\, and contexts come to define them. By tracing where different s
 ystems of knowledge intersect\, overlap\, and contradict one another\, Por
 ras-Kim’s work considers the multiplicity of stakeholders involved in de
 fining cultural heritage and asks what new perspectives might emerge when 
 the structures used to organize and interpret it are called into question.
