This series examines exhibition spaces as pedagogical infrastructures that shape how histories, futures, and forms of coexistence are imagined and negotiated across museums, galleries, open‑air and site‑specific institutions, archives, and other spaces of display and mediation. It asks how such spaces (whether devoted to art, objects, or immaterial histories) might cultivate new imaginaries of institutional, social, ecological and political possibility, amid widening societal divides and the precarity of cultural and environmental resources. The series proceeds from the premise that exhibition spaces do not merely frame art and knowledge; they actively organize the terms of public learning, recognition, and disavowal. In a moment marked by renewed attention to provenance and restitution, calls for decolonization, rapidly changing digital technologies, and the increasing privatization of cultural institutions, the exhibition space demands sustained critical scrutiny as a site where contested narratives are materialized, rehearsed, and potentially re‑made. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

• Curated spaces as pedagogical tools across museums, galleries, heritage sites, open‑air museums, and other institutional or urban/rural environments.
• Intersections of artistic and curatorial research, social practice, and ecological thought in exhibition making.
• Provenance research, restitution, and decolonial approaches to objects, collections, and narratives of place.
• Curatorial and artistic experiments that rethink care, equality, accessibility, and planetary repair.
• Digital technologies in and as exhibition spaces, including questions of materiality, mediation, and spectatorship.
• Institutional and environmental renewal under postcolonial, postsocialist, and neoliberal conditions. We invite proposals from across art history, curatorial and museum studies, environmental humanities, political theory, anthropology, media studies, and related fields.
