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.
