Δ EXHIBITION TOUR

Who is old – where and when? Can we meet the ‘challenge of ageing’ optimistically? And what potential lies slumbering in the process of aging?

Projections for global demographic trends are forecasting an increase in the world’s older population. The process of growing older is not just important for each individual, but has implications for the social and cultural spheres. Yet each generation ages differently. And when can we actually talk of someone as ‘old’ at all? Even if the visible biological aging processes are the same the world over, each culture has its differences in defining ‘age’. There is no universally valid definition of when ‘old age’ starts. So who is old – where and when?

GREY IS THE NEW PINK presents diverse ideas and models of ‘age(ing)’ from the perspective of cultural studies and the visual arts, as well as personal and individual experience. Like fragments in a lifetime’s memories, the exhibition combines into an anthology of aging the individual ways of dealing with such topics as lifestyle, love and sexuality, transmission of knowledge, longevity, illness, health, and death.

In the exhibition ‘age(ing)’ is explored internationally in photographs, videos, literature, drawings, as well as large-scale and multimedia installations and performances both in the work of scientists, artists and poets, as well as younger and older people from the general population. Numerous exhibits from the from the Weltkulturen Museum’s Africa, Americas, South East Asia, Oceania, Visual Anthropology collections  and the library broaden the view of the subject.

Δ WORKSHOP WITH EXHIBITION TOUR

“The Crocodile’s Bite – Tattoos and other signs of maturity”

What does it mean to enter new phases of life, and how do we celebrate these transitions? Are there any particular objects which accompany us when making the transition into a new phase?

Starting off with selected objects from Samoa and Papua New Guinea, which we discover in the exhibition GREY IS THE NEW PINK, we find out about our personal symbols of transition and print them on t-shirts or bags.

Δ CANCELLED: CONSERVATOR'S GUIDED TOUR

“Preserving the old: Anti-ageing in the museum”

How is a 100-year-old skull restored? How do you transport a four-metre-long Baining mask into the exhibition? And how do you preserve the bright hues of colourful feathers?

Mareike Mehlis answers these and other questions in a fascinating insight into the work of conservators and methods to slow the process of things ageing. Mehlis is conservator at the Weltkulturen Museum and completed her studies in “Conservation and Restoration of Archaeological, Ethnological and Artistic Objects” in Stuttgart with a diploma in restoration.

Δ TALK WITH GUARANÍ ACTIVISTS

The Museum Angewandte Kunst provides its spaces for the event “The Land is our Life, our Identitiy, our Heritage“ of Guaraní women. Indigenous activists, Guaraní-Kaiowá from Brazil, talk about the life as indigenous women, mothers, and guardians of the tradition.

The speakers focus especially on topics that address women like sexualized violence, discrimination and mistreatment in public hospitals and healthcare, especially concerning obstetrics. They report on their traditional culture and the fight for its preservation.

The rightward shift of Brazil's current government has already meant further restrictions of the rights of indigenous groups, as well as an increase of violence against them and a criminalization of indigenous organizations.
