Description:	A 20 minute paper given at 'From De-Colonial to Anti-Colonial: What's Next for Museum Interpretation', organised as an online conference by the Understanding British Portraits subject specialist network. The paper was pre-recorded and shared online. --- Anjalie Dalal-Clayton will discuss her research on interpretation texts in public art museums: ranging from her use of speech act theory to explore how exhibitions critically and historically position Black artists, the Black Artists & Modernism project’s close-reading interventions, to her most recent work on the Tate-led Provisional Semantics project that considers how anti-racist and decolonising practices might be employed in the production of interpretation texts in art museums and heritage organisations.
