Δ THEMED GUIDED TOUR

“The gift of poetry: rap as expression of indigenous identity”
With Arno Holl (research assistent and ethnologist)

Δ CURATORS´ GUIDED TOUR

Entre Terra e Mar. Between Land and Sea. Transatlantic Art

Curator Dr. Mona Suhrbier talks about the working process with Ayrson Heráclito and Rigo23 (participating artists of the exhibition) and guides through the exhibition “Entre Terra e Mar. Between Land and Sea. Transatlantic Art” out ouf the perspective of a curator.

The Weltkulturen Museum is presenting contemporary interventions and works fusing the political and lyrical by the internationally renowned artists Ayrson Heráclito and Rigo 23. The exhibition is the culmination of the museum’s many years of activities and research investigating the Afro-Brazilian and indigenous aspects of Brazil’s art and culture, and it provides a new impetus in present perceptions of transatlantic art processes between Africa, Europe and America. This is especially evident in the artists’ encounters with objects from the museum’s South America and Africa collections. Their selection of objects, which are also on show in the exhibition, offers a fascinating insight into their own concerns and interests.

Δ WORKSHOP WITH EXHIBITION TOUR

„…and when a hero comes to town“

Superheroes and superheroines influence our ideals of such qualities as strength and courage. But what characterises them, what are they fighting for, and what special abilities do they have? Together, we look for superheroes and superheroines in the exhibition “Entre Terra e Mar”, and design our own masks to make our strengths visible.

Δ CONSERVATORS´ GUIDED TOUR

How can works with paint turning powdery be conserved without touching them? How can leaves be preserved before they wilt? And how do you conserve dried meats that are not all that dry? The Weltkulturen Museum’s conservator offers an insight into her work and constructing a rather unusual exhibition.

Kristina Werner holds an M.A. in the restoration and conservation of art and cultural artefacts from the University of Cologne, and has specialised in objects made of wood and modern materials.
