ABSTRACT
This chapter questions the stability of the term ‘ecomuseology’ through an analysis of three artistic practices centred within specific contexts in Latin America and the Caribbean. These include the artistic research of Annalee Davis on a plantation space in Barbados; the community-based theoretical work of Semillero Caribe, which develops strategies to embody theory in relation to specific contexts in Mexico and Cali, Colombia; and the collaborative initiative BetaLocal in Puerto Rico, which attempts to counter damage inflicted during US military occupation. In so doing, the analysis illuminates how collective, ecologically centred artistic practices both echo the anticolonial strategies of ecomuseums and propose alternative methods for landscape-based resistance.
