Installation view, Isaac Julien: Vagabondia, The Bass, Miami Beach, 2025
Isaac Julien’s *Vagabondia* (2000) is a two-screen film installation from The Bass’s collection. It follows a conservator through the densely packed rooms of London’s Sir John Soane’s Museum as ghostly figures, including a defiant vagabond in 18th-century dress, interrupt its quiet order. Julien explores the colonial legacies embedded in museums and the lives and stories their histories leave out.
