Δ CURATORS GUIDED TOUR

“AND THE BEAT GOES ON...Barkcloth from the Collections of the Weltkulturen Museum”
With Matthias Claudius Hofmann (ethnologist and research assistant)

Textiles made from tree bark have a long tradition in the arts around the world. In Oceania, eighteenth-century European explorers were fascinated by the large panels of barkcloth, often printed or painted with abstract patterns. But producing textiles from the inner bark of trees is also a widespread practice in parts of Africa, in South America and South-east Asia. Matthias Claudius Hofmann offers a fascinating insight into this alternative textile production technique, and outlines the significance of barkcloth in everyday life, rituals and art.

Δ ARTIST‘S GUIDED TOUR

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

Ayrson Heráclito, participating artist of the exhibition "Entre Terra e Mar. Between Land and Sea. Transatlantic Art”, gives exclusive insights into his artistic work and the ideas as well as concepts, that accompany his process of work.

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.

Ayrson Heráclito connects his art with the aesthetics of urban Afro- Brazilian culture and religion, which he reads as expressing a form of resistance, self-assertion and preservation of the culture of the slaves.
