“Invisible Inventories: Questioning Kenyan Collections in Western Museums”

with Lea Sante (Weltkulturen Education)

How can we make Kenyan cultural assets that are possessed by institutions in the Global North accessible to present-day Kenyan society? Since 2018, this question has been addressed by the “International Inventories Programme” (IIP), which brings together Kenyan and European artists and scholars.

After shows in Nairobi and Cologne, the exhibition project “Invisible Inventories” can now be seen at the Weltkulturen Museum in Frankfurt. Lea Sante gives an insight into how the international project came about and its significance.

Δ CONNECTING THE DOTS

History – Power – Discrimination!?

Online seminar for grown ups by glokal e. V.

The exhibition “Invisible Inventories: Questioning Kenyan Collections in Western Museums”, which is currently on show in the Weltkulturen Labor, shows how the repercussions of the colonial era are still felt today.    

The seminar “Connecting the Dots” provides a space to explore colonial continuities and histories as well as the associated privileges of people in the Global North. Its main aim is to use the timeline methodology developed by glokal e.V. to create a practical application that enables participants to link the contents to their everyday experiences by themselves. We are looking forward to active and interested participation in this practical introduction to the subject.

glokal e.V. is an association that teaches people how to critique power (www.glokal.org)

This online workshop for adults is being held on Zoom.

“GREEN SKY, BLUE GRASS. Colour Coding Worlds”

with Lea Sante

Our world is full of colour, but do all cultures see it in the same way? While the scientific basis for perception is identical for everyone, light waves can’t really explain how we name our impressions of colour, the number (and kind) of categories we divide these colours into, or the meanings and associations we ascribe to them.

Touring the exhibition, Lea Sante shows how perception of colour sometimes differs enormously depending on the language and culture involved.

Δ “RED IN FOCUS”

Theme related guided tour with Oliver Hahn (research assistent Oceania collection)

In many cultures, the colour red plays a significant role in the way people see the world, whether it is painted on their bodies for beautification and protection, or serves as a sacred colour, or features in the material culture. Consequently, it is a colour that also appears in many different sections of the exhibition “GREEN SKY, BLUE GRASS. Colour Coding Worlds”. 

Oliver Hahn guides through the exhibiton. He investigates the meaning of red as a colour in various cultures by looking at case studies from the Amazon region, New Guinea and Polynesia. 

Please register via the booking button “TERMIN BUCHEN”. The number of participants is limited to ten people.
