WORKSHOP FOR ADULTS
“What’s this doing here?”
Workshop led by Amelie Kleinhubbert, cultural educator
Conversation with Audrey Peraldi, provenance researcher and curator of the exhibition
How, and under what conditions, did objects from what is now Nigeria get to the Weltkulturen Museum, where they are currently being shown in the exhibition “Benin. The Collection at the Weltkulturen Museum. Perspectives”? What are the consequences when the biographies of these objects cannot be reconstructed? In the workshop “What’s this doing here?” the participants will critically explore the origin (hi)stories surrounding the background and acquisition of specific objects. They will find out about various international perspectives and discuss the meaning of provenance and restitution.
Workshop attendance: 7,50 euros.
