Women’s History Month is a time for reflection on the fight for gender equality, these discussions are most meaningful when they continue beyond a specific month.
In this episode of Museums and Chill, archaeologist and cultural heritage specialist Camila Opazo-Sepúlveda invites us to reflect on the role of museums in decolonization and gender equity—and how these conversations can continue year-round.
Throughout the episode, Camila shares her insights on how museums can challenge dominant narratives, incorporate a feminist perspective in their exhibitions, and foster intercultural dialogue without replicating colonial dynamics. She also encourages us to ask: How can cultural institutions ensure that feminism and equity are not just occasional themes, but core principles embedded in their daily work?
