“COLLECTED. BOUGHT. LOOTED? Case Studies from a Colonial and National Socialist Context”
Curators Julia Friedel and Vanessa von Gliszczynski guide through the exhbition and give insights into the research process behind the exhbition.
How did ancestor figures from Nias off the western coast of Sumatra enter the European art market in the early twentieth century? Why could the museum buy objects rather ‘cheaply’ in Paris and Amsterdam in the early 1940s? Is a weapon belt from South Africa war booty?
These are just some of the questions arising from a critical review of the Weltkulturen Museum’s collection.

GREY IS THE NEW PINK - Moments of Ageing
Opening: Thursday, 25th October 2018, 7pmWho 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.
With game consoles you can improve your brain functionality and get refreshed at the “Weltkulturen Water Bar”.

Artists Raymond Sagapolutele and Jake Verzosa with Alice Pawlik and Leonie NeumannWhat is it like when parents and grandparents grow ever older? What significance does the family have? And which traditions do the next generations also view as important?
Curator Alice Pawlik leads a tour through the exhibition and Leonie Neumann discusses with artists Raymond Sagapolutele and Jake Verzosa notions of family and tradition and their view of age and ageing.RAYMOND SAGAPOLUTELE (*1971) is a New Zealand born, Samoan artist, photographer and member of the graffiti collective TMD, who lives and works in Auckland, New Zealand. He is a self-taught photographer and developed his style, which aims to enter into a dialogue with the viewer. He is currently completing his master's in Visual Arts at Auckland University of Technology. His master's thesis looks to answer the question of how does one validate the experiences of being diasporic in the wider context of hegemonic frameworks of culture within Samoan and New Zealand societies. Using this research is a pathway to unpack, challenge and offer another definition of the Samoan terms Talanoa and Va relevant to the diasporic Samoan in New Zealand and to transform them into the practice of photography.
JAKE VERZOSA (*1979) is a freelance photographer born in the Philippines. After graduating in Computer Science from the Ateneo de Manila University, he worked as a programmer for two years before pursuing photography professionally. After taking a documentary workshop class under mentors Philip Jones Griffiths, Jack Picone and Steve Coleman in 2007, he increasingly focused on personal projects exploring
sub-cultures, identity and social issues. From 2009 – 2013, Jake Verzosa travelled extensively through the north of the Philippines for his portrait series The Last Tattooed Women of Kalinga. In 2016, this was among the eight works chosen by renowned publisher Gerhard Steidl for the Steidl Book Award Asia. Verzosa’s work has been shown in exhibitions in Asia, Europe and North America, and acquired by numerous permanent museum collections, including the Musée Nicéphore-Niépce in Chalon-sur-Saône, France.

“The Whys and Wherefores. How the exhibition came about”
Who is old – where and when? Can we meet the ‘challenge of ageing’ optimistically? And what potential lies slumbering in the process of aging?
The preparation of exhibitions is one of the central tasks of a museum. But to find exhibition ideas and to develop exciting presentations with current relevance is not so easy. Development is a process that is constantly changing and becoming. Often new perspectives are added during the planning or the previous ones are reconsidered. Curator Alice Pawlik leads through the exhibition and explains what needs to be taken into account, how to include the collection of the house and what problems arise. An exciting tour with a look behind the scenes.
