ABSTRACT
The Red de Museos Comunitarios de América brings together community museums in eight countries that have created narratives based on their communities’ historical experience and world view. Committed to defending community rights in the context of increasing destruction of their ways of life, the network is a nexus of mutual support and solidarity, which contests the coloniality of power, the coloniality of knowledge and the coloniality of being. It helps transform relationships of subordination, constructing horizontal bonds and autonomous projects. Both the community museums and the network foster alternative visions and organisational capabilities built from within, strengthening processes of decolonisation.
