What does this artwork mean? How did it come to Germany? What function does this object fulfil for the community?
In the East and West Wings, which will be open fully for the first time, visitors meet long-term (work) partners from Benin (Nigeria), Bolivia, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Cameroon, Canada, Colombia, Mexico, Nagaland (India), Namibia, Tanzania, the US and the diverse community of Berlin on 17 and 18 September. In conversation with representatives of small and large museums, indigenous educational institutions and organisations, artists and scientists, it is about the past and future of the artworks and things, their significance for the places of origin, stories of loss and meeting again, and also about creative and artistic processes of reappropriation and circulation as well as controversies, wishes and plans. The collaboration with partners has made a decisive impression on the concept and implementation of the exhibitions in the Ethnologisches Museum und Museum für Asiatische Kunst in recent years and will continue to determine the work with the collections.
In 45-minute talks, you can put your questions to the experts. The events take place within the exhibitions. You can get a detailed overview of who is speaking, when and where, on site in the Humboldt Forum.
The experts will speak in different languages. There will be people on site who will help to translate.
