Δ THEMATIC TOUR

“Historical collections in new relationships”

With Christina Henneke (cultural anthropologist)

What significance do the historical archive and collection materials hold for the Wanjina Wunggurr indigenous community today? This themed tour allows visitors to find out more about key aspects of the joint research which formed the basis for the exhibition. In addition, it provides some intriguing insights into the re-evaluation of historical photographs, copies of rock paintings and archive documents conducted by the Indigenous research partners; the contemporary works in the exhibition provide a fascinating counterpoint to this work.

Δ TOUR WITH THE CURATOR

“Country bin pull’em. Looking back together”

With Matthias Claudius Hofmann (Curator of the Oceania Collection)

What significance do millennia-old rock paintings from Australia have today? What potential do ethnographic and historical collections have for Indigenous communities, for museums and for post-colonial coexistence? Together with the Indigenous communities of the Wanjina Wunggurr - the Woddordda, Ngarinyin and Wunambal - the Weltkulturen Museum is taking a look back at the Frankfurt Frobenius expedition to the Kimberley region of north-west Australia in 1938.

This tour led by the curator will cover topics relating to the expedition’s research history and current interpretations of Indigenous cultural heritage. In addition, issues pertaining to collection provenance will be addressed and options for digitally returning cultural heritage will be discussed.

Curator Matthias Claudius Hofmann will illustrate these contexts with selected examples and provide in-depth insights into the exhibition.

Price: 7 euros, reduced 3.50 euros. No need to book.
