Δ Angklung workshop with Angklung KJRI with Anyra Zulinarti (director of the KJRI angklung group)

An angklung ensemble consists of around forty individual bamboo instruments that are gently shaken to create a sound. Since the 1940s, angklung sets have been modelled on a western/European style of music. A fairly large group of musicians is needed to play a song, with each musician playing one or several notes. The ensemble is directed by means of hand gestures, similar to a choir. In 2021 the Weltkulturen Museum bought an angklung ensemble which could be played for exhibition projects – now, for the first time, this will happen within a workshop setting.

Duration: 1.5 to 2 hours

Δ „Der chinesische Paravent. Wie der Kolonialismus in deutsche Wohnzimmer kam“

Book presentation and talk with Nicola Kuhn

From folding screens to tea sets and warrior shields, Nicola Kuhn uses a range of objects to create a panorama of the colonial era. Behind each of these objects lie the stories of an occupied country and its people. And the current owners also have their say. Nicola Kuhn will present her book in conversation with Stephanie Endter, curator of education.

Library, Schaumainkai 35, 5€, No registration required.
