White Womanhood, Hindutva & Spiritual Bypass: Museum Yoga & The Mass-Participation Spectacle by Kajal Nisha Patel published on 2024-05-20T22:13:37Z The Jugaad Project White Womanhood, Hindutva and Spiritual Bypass: Museum Yoga and the Mass-Participation Spectacle JUN 9 WHITE WOMANHOOD, HINDUTVA AND SPIRITUAL BYPASS: MUSEUM YOGA AND THE MASS-PARTICIPATION SPECTACLE KAJAL NISHA PATEL Abstract Over the past decade, postural-yoga classes have grown to become a normalised way to attract new audiences to North American and Western European museums and galleries. These offerings, and what I term “museum yoga”, are commonly featured as part of an educational outreach program, yet largely unrelated to the exhibition programme. Why, or rather, how are museums doing this? That is, what does the use of media, imaging and bodily practices reveal about museum yoga and its socio-political significance in a globalised world?
