In this episode Shaz Hussain explores the Science Museum's display of suncreams and who the items are imagined to be for in the gallery space. Drawing on the Challenge of Materials Gallery's collection of 'everyday' items, we discuss who is imagined as the visitor considering the framing of suncream in relation to whiteness. We discuss the importance of suncream for all and critically dream about ways this could be included in the display.
Shaz is an Assistant Curator at the Science Museum and a member of Museum Detox, a network of people of colour working in museums. She is also the creator of the White Privilege Clinic, a creative intervention that challenges people to rethink systemic and institutional racism in the arts sector. Shaz is interested in how we can better represent people of colour in museums both in the collections and the workforce.
