Ethnological museums hold cultural belongings from all parts of the world. We usually learn what they mean for the local people indirectly, mediated by curators and academics. What if the people whose cultural assets we see were in control of them themselves?
GCA stands for Global Cultural Assembly. The assembly itself decides which cultural assets are exhibited and which stories are told with them. A new type of program design is emerging in which the international partners have a voice that carries weight.
This new way of working together begins with the creation of a structure that allows the concerns and interests of the international community to be represented to the Humboldt Forum, especially the perspectives of indigenous groups affected by colonialism, racism and anti-Semitism and groups that are little heard. This is our challenge for the coming years.
The first traces of the GCA are visible in an exhibition space created by members. It shows the vision of future joint work.
The development of the GCA is based on the declaration “Dignity – Transparency – Continuity” signed as part of the 2022 opening.
