Δ WORKSHOP FOR ADULTS

“What’s this doing here?”

Workshop led by Amelie Kleinhubbert, cultural educator
Conversation with Audrey Peraldi, provenance researcher and curator of the exhibition 

How, and under what conditions, did objects from what is now Nigeria get to the Weltkulturen Museum, where they are currently being shown in the exhibition “Benin. The Collection at the Weltkulturen Museum. Perspectives”? What are the consequences when the biographies of these objects cannot be reconstructed? In the workshop “What’s this doing here?” the participants will critically explore the origin (hi)stories surrounding the background and acquisition of specific objects. They will find out about various international perspectives and discuss the meaning of provenance and restitution.

Workshop attendance: 7,50 euros.

Δ CONCERT ACCOMPANYING THE EXHIBITION

“The Sound of Indonesian String” A concert accompanying the exhibition “Sound Sources. Everything is Music!”
Featuring the musicians Dijtron Koriyon Pah and Jeagril Pah (sasando), Dadan Budiana and Endang Sukandar (kacapi and suling)

doors open at 7.40 pm, event starts at 8 pm

The sounds and music of Indonesia are extremely diverse, if for no other reason than the sheer size of this island nation. Four Indonesian musicians will now introduce their stringed instruments here at the Weltkulturen Museum in a concert entitled “The Sound of Indonesian String”. Dijtron Koriyon Pah and Jeagril Pah will present the sasando, a bamboo tube zither that can also be seen in the “Sound Sources” exhibition. The sasando comes from the east of the archipelago and is found in traditional contexts as well as in pop culture. The two musicians Dadan Budiana and Endang Sukandar will provide a real contrast with the Tembang Sunda genre from West Java. This courtly vocal style is accompanied by the kacapi, a type of zither, and the suling, a bamboo flute.

The event is being staged in cooperation with the association KuKo e.V. and the Indonesian general consulate.
The language will be Indonesian with German translations.
