| description | This paper analyzes the way in which museums in Ecuador represent Afro Ecuadorian culture. In studying the museums of the Banco Central del Ecuador, it is shown how the Afro Ecuadorian identity is deliberately excluded from museum spaces that represent the official memory of the Nation. This topic becomes even more important at times when the Afro Ecuadorian society, by means of collective mobilization and action, battles racism and exclusion. In that battle the Afro Ecuadorians try and reclaim a space where their culture and history can be adopted into the Ecuadorian culture as a whole. This article answers two questions: The first being, what proposals and policies do the museums of the Banco Central del Ecuador have in regards to the inclusion of the culture and history of the Afro Ecuadorian’s? Secondly, how can a suitable museum narrative be implemented in relation to the contributions of the Afro Ecuadorian’s in the construction of the Ecuadorian nation? |

Este ensayo analiza las representaciones de los museos del Ecuador sobre los afroecuatorianos. Estudiando el caso de los museos del Banco Central del Ecuador, se demuestra cómo la identidad afroecuatoriana es deliberadamente excluida de los espacios museográficos que expresan la memoria oficial de la nación. Este tema cobra vigencia en momentos en que la sociedad afroecuatoriana, por medio de sus movilizaciones y acciones colectivas, emprende una fuerte batalla contra el racismo y la exclusión. Se trata de reclamos por un lugar adecuado en la cultura y en la historia del Ecuador. ¿Cuál es la propuesta de inclusión de la cultura afroecuatoriana en las políticas de muse-os del Banco Central? ¿Cómo podría implementarse una narrativa museográfica adecuada relacionada con los aportes de los afroecuatorianos a la construcción de la nación?
