Das Museum als „Kontaktzone“
In the organizer's words:
The term "contact zone" was introduced to the museum debate in 1997 by the ethnologist and historian James Clifford in connection with decolonial theories and practices. He drew on the work of the American literary scholar Mary Louise Pratt, who coined the term in the early 1990s.
Contact zones are spaces for collaboration and exchange, with the task of building lasting relationships. At the same time, they are associated with inequality and conflict: Who gets to speak? Who is heard? Which forms of knowledge count? And how can existing power relations be shifted?
