“GREEN SKY, BLUE GRASS. Colour Coding Worlds”
with Berit Mohr
Our world is full of colour, but do all cultures see it in the same way? While the scientific basis for perception is identical for everyone, light waves can’t really explain how we name our impressions of colour, the number (and kind) of categories we divide these colours into, or the meanings and associations we ascribe to them.
Touring the exhibition, Berit Mohr shows how perception of colour sometimes differs enormously depending on the language and culture involved.

“Invisible Inventories: Questioning Kenyan Collections in Western Museums”
with Leonie Neumann and Julia Friedel (curators of the Africa collection)
How can we make Kenyan cultural assets that are possessed by institutions in the Global North accessible to present-day Kenyan society? Since 2018, this question has been addressed by the “International Inventories Programme” (IIP), which brings together Kenyan and European artists and scholars.
After shows in Nairobi and Cologne, the exhibition project “Invisible Inventories” can now be seen at the Weltkulturen Museum in Frankfurt. The curators of the Africa collection, Leonie Neumann and Julia Friedel, give an insight into how the international project came about and its significance.
