    Through the exhibition “WORLDS IN MOTION. Narrating Migration”

    With Iris Loew

    People have always been on the move, all around the world. As they move, they also take with them their lifestyles, language, music, and arts and crafts. Much of what is reputedly ‘authentic’ for a culture turns out, at second glance, to be an ‘import’.

    Starting from its own collections, the Weltkulturen Museum raises associative questions highlighting how the world’s diversity of cultures has always existed in a process of exchange. From historical settlement movements, labour migration or globalisation – people and their diverse cultures have always been in a process of constant exchange. Is migration really only a reaction to or a cause of problems – or far more a key driver for new forms of community in a constantly changing world?

    Iris Loew leads through the exhibition and gives insights into it's developement.

    ***FULLY BOOKED*** CURATOR'S GUIDED TOUR
    “Let Them Speak! Comments from British Columbia, Canada”
    With Dr. Markus Lindner, Goethe-Universität Frankfurt
    Δ ***FULLY BOOKED*** CURATOR'S GUIDED TOUR

    “Let Them Speak! Comments from British Columbia, Canada”
    With Dr. Markus Lindner, cultural anthropologist at Goethe-Universität Frankfurt

    Dr. Markus Lindner guides through the exhibition “Let Them Speak! Comments from British Columbia, Canada” and gives insights into the development of the film and the background of the exhibition.

    With her crew from Rudegang Entertainment, filmmaker Diana Hellson  (Siksika Nation) visits three artists at specially selected locations on Vancouver Island and in Vancouver City: Sculptor Tom Hunt  (Kwakwaka’wakw), weaver Meghann O’Brien (Haida/Kwakwaka’wakw) and rap musician Christie Lee Charles (Musqueam). Thus, the film mixes views of a picturesque mountainous landscape with images from a workshop and a sound studio.

    The film emphasizes the artists' perspectives. They present their own art and comment on individual objects in the collection, which can be seen in the accompanying exhibition. In this way the film combines contemporary, indigenous perspectives on museums with the mainly historical collection of the Weltkulturen Museum.

    This project has been developed as a cooperation between Dr. Markus Lindner (Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main) and Dr. Mona Suhrbier (Weltkulturen Museum).

    It is part of the culture program related to Canada’s Guest of Honour presentation at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2020/2021 and is supported by Canada Council for the Arts and the Government of Canada.

    Please registrate until Friday, 3pm: or 069 212 39898
