Abstract

This literature began with the problematic of how to re-imagine the relationship between the formation of modern nation/citizens and the modern museum audiences. By doing so, I tried to figure out how the modern value of "equality" penetrating this relationship is being redefined at the present point. This is linked to the question of what the "museums for equality" is and how it can be realized. In particular, I aimed to clarify that the modern museum paradigm and the neoliberal museum management practices, which have been fundamentally challenged by the Black Lives Matter(BLM) movement in pandemic situations, were created as part of a political project based on inequality and discrimination.
In addition, by revitalizing the political properties of the concept of “non-audience,” which is currently used in the marketing of museum-visitors, I examined that empirical and statistical approaches to museum-visitors, which are key to museum policy and operation, were reproducing and strengthening the silence of “non-audience” and the inequality in museums in the level of museum policy. Finally, I analyzed the BLM movement and the resulting changes of museums as a historical turning point. This is because the movement is a current example of breaking that silence, erupting the voices of “non-audience”/“excluded people” and driving fundamental changes in museums.
