Δ SPECIAL TOUR

“Music Narrates Migration!”
In the exhibition “WORLDS IN MOTION. Narrating Migration”
With Oliver Hahn (cultural scientist)

In his special tour in the exhibition „WORLDS IN MOTION. Narrating Migration”, cultural scientist Oliver Hahn focusses on the migration histories of different musical instruments in Southeast Asia, especially in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Using stringed instruments as an example, he shows how musical instruments and styles spread in the archipelago through migration. The displayed instruments, like the rebab and the kacapi, are often identified as “typical” or “original” Indonesian instruments. Is this possible or even necessary at all? The tour draws special attention to bamboo tube zithers. Not only do they have a remarkable history but they have also lived a revival for the last years in modern music.

7 Euro / 3,50 Euro. Costs of the tour included in admission fee.

Δ TALK

Jour Fixe Weltkulturen Freundeskreis
“Repatriation, Restitution and the Ethics of Collecting”
With Dr. Eva Ch. Raabe, director Weltkulturen Museum

Museum collections dating from the German colonial era are now receiving a whole new level of critical attention. The discussion about contexts of colonial injustice focusses primarily on objects from African countries, although many other regions of the world are equally affected because of the European colonial interconnections. Not only objects whose acquisition took place in a colonial context of injustice, but also objects of sacred significance, objects carrying secret knowledge or human remains require a sensitive museum approach. It is not just about the so-called looted art, but also about representation  and sovereignty in matters of interpretation. Objects from non-European provenance are subject to their own rules and protocols, which often contradict the tradition of European scientific culture. Conflicts of value are therefore constant companions when working with ethnological collections. The cultural anthropologist Eva Raabe outlines the restitution debate and explains the challenges that ethnological museums must face in dealing with sensitive collections.

No registration reqired. Guests are welcome.
