Abstract This article reflects on the curating of an exhibition at the Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology, University of Cambridge, ‘Another India: Explorations and Expressions of Indigenous South Asia’ (March 2017-April 2018), and particularly the process of commissioning new works by Indigenous and Adivasi artists and makers from India for the exhibition. The project set out to be a critical exploration of the colonial legacies of museum collections, museum practices, and on the representations and treatment of peoples in India that such legacies perpetuate. Exploring collections with a critical eye is perhaps one way to begin a process of decolonising museums, yet documenting and commissioning both presented themselves as methodologies of reflection and re-study that shed light on historic practices and make possible new ones.

非殖民化重演？

摘要 本文回顾了剑桥大学人类学和考古博物馆展览“另一个印度：南亚土著的探索和表达”（2017 年 3 月至 2018 年 4 月）的策划，特别是委托新作品的过程来自印度的土著和 Adivasi 艺术家和制造商为展览提供了帮助。该项目旨在对博物馆藏品的殖民遗产、博物馆实践以及这些遗产延续的印度人民的表现和待遇进行批判性探索。以批判的眼光探索藏品也许是开始博物馆非殖民化进程的一种方式，但记录和委托两者都表现为反思和重新研究的方法，揭示历史实践并使新实践成为可能。
