Through aesthetics we can articulate affective politics and demonstrate new ways of ‘doing’ progressive politics. This article explores the politics and practice of dissensus within the museum with artist Rosanna Raymond. The article argues that the museum space, when critiqued through a postcolonial perspective and artistic practice, can be a vehicle for political change. Using Ranciere’s account of ‘politics’, the article outlines how a ‘redistribution of the sensible’ might be possible, one that that is inclusive of Maori space-time, self-determined cultural values and geoaesthetics.
