10Negotiations in museum practice

A reinstalled gallery of ancient Middle Eastern art at the Detroit Institute of Arts

Swarupa Anila and Geoff Emberling

We present here a discussion of our experiences working on one collaborative exhibit, the gallery of ancient Middle Eastern (AME) art (Figure 10.1) that opened at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) in October 2015 (see Stryker 2015, Hodges 2015), with Anila as Director of Interpretive Engagement and Emberling as Consulting Curator. For the purposes of this chapter, rather than describe all activities in the development of the DIA’s AME gallery, we focus on moments of DIA process and practice that depart from typical museum practice and demonstrate notable innovation or challenge.
