The Back Office Manifesto: NO Future Institutions

ERC721

This is one of the first NFTs based on academic research. The pioneering work was created by Dr Margarita Kuleva with the participation of Elena Penina (graphic design), Robin Mitchell, Alexandra Shanina and researchers from the Digital Art History Group at HSE University. The work is the result of a long term ethnographic research project into social inequality in the visual arts sector and acts as a manifesto written on behalf of cultural workers, who are often deprived of voice and recognition. The manifesto presents a utopian version of museum space, existing in an iteration of the cultural future. In particular, the manifesto states that in such a museum ‘everyone is a researcher’ and ‘the contribution of all human and non-human agents (including museum cats and plants) is equally valuable.’
