Δ WORKSHOP FOR ADULTS

"Collecting, having, showing": Decolonising practice at the Weltkulturen Museum

With Stephanie Endter and Julia Albrecht

What is decolonisation and why do we need to engage with it? Why now and at the Weltkulturen Museum in Frankfurt? As an institution that was founded in the middle of the German colonial era and which helped shape the image of ‘the others’ for decades, the Weltkulturen Museum today faces the central task of supporting decolonising processes. The workshops deal with the museum's colonial heritage, the current restitution debates and reflect on colonial continuities in our everyday lives.

The third course ‘Collecting, Having, Showing’ deals with property and knowledge systems: Why collect? What does ownership mean? Who decides what and how something is shown and who is allowed to see what? You will explore the exhibition "COUNTRY BIN PULL'EM. A shared look back" and look at different ideas of ownership, private, secret and public knowledge systems. What connections are there between past and present histories? 

The event is part of the series ‘Decolonising Practice at the Weltkulturen Museum’ and a cooperation between the Volkshochschule Frankfurt and the Weltkulturen Museum.

Registration via the VHS Frankfurt.
