J. Kelechi Ugwuanyi about the decolonial analytical tool of coloniality of power, knowledge and being is utilised to examine the injustices and power imbalance in heritagisation within and outside museum space, in and outside Nigeria/Africa. It interrogates how decolonial engagements could begin to recognise other realities and ways of knowing and doing heritage beyond the asymmetric universality.

J. Kelechi Ugwuanyi is a Lecturer at the School of Humanities, University of Glasgow. Previously, he was an associate professor at the University of Nigeria, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Bonn, and an associate researcher at the Pitt Rivers Museum, University of Oxford.
