Abstract

Art brut Art museums Fine art Museum policy Outsider art Self-taught art
This research examines outsider art and museum power over narrative, focusing on how art museums are evolving their policies, ethics, and curatorial practices. The goal is to illuminate the lasting impact of outdated curatorial practices, genres, and terminology on art, artists, and institutions. By exploring the extent of museum authority in shaping narratives and cultural values through the lens of outsider art, this research aims to contribute to a broader understanding of inclusivity in the art world.
