This online Museum showcases objects, images and texts that specifically employ the following strategies:

1 Lies/ Deceit
2 Plagiarism
3 Embellishment/ Extension
4 Erasure/ Removal
5 De-contextualization and Re-contextualization
6 Myth and Fiction


This is an Open Source Museum and can be fully edited, embellished upon, reordered, or erased by all users. This will
lead to a constantly changing space of discussion and confrontation. As a visitor to the Museum you are invited to make contributions to the collection and enter your name in the "Friends" section of our website. You are also invited to change the structure or content of the website in order for it to better fit your understanding/ desire of what a museum is/ should be.

Unlike Wikipedia, where the ground for contestation/ confrontation is the notion of what is True, we are yet to discover the possible grounds for confrontation in the Museum.

Any questions can either be directed to the Shifter team or posted on the "Help" section of the website.

Sincerely,

Sreshta/ Rit Premnath +
