HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: 360°-TOUR OF THE EXHIBITION

VISIT HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT ONLINE!

Museums store, manage and transmit knowledge. But what knowledge is stored and communicated - and by whom? What is excluded or overridden?

“Hidden in Plain Sight” examines how through multiple perspectives and approaches a space in the museum can be created, that allows for critically dealing with colonialism and its aftermaths up to the present day. The exhibition shows how a decolonial education practice can open up new points of view within the museum.

We are very pleased to invite you to a 360° tour of the exhibition. Look around, there is a lot to discover!
