Kann das weg? Von Abfällen und Einfällen
In the organizer's words:
What can you find in a museum? Gold, art and cultural treasures. Everything but garbage. Or is it? It is easy to forget that much of what one person throws away can still be valuable to another - and certainly worthy of a museum. When a cultural history museum turns its attention to supposed waste, new perspectives open up. The volunteers at the Badisches Landesmuseum are organizing the fifth volunteer exhibition on a topic that affects society as a whole.
Using exhibits from the Badisches Landesmuseum's collection, the exhibition highlights a wide variety of strategies for avoiding waste. Whether used for a long time, repaired, repurposed and recycled or ultimately thrown away - all the exhibits have their own individual object histories, which are representative of a wide variety of reasons and practices for avoiding waste, but also for producing waste. The exhibits show that people from all eras and cultures have found and continue to find ways to prevent waste from being produced in the first place - these are their creative ideas against waste.
"Can it go?" is now the fifth volunteer exhibition that has been jointly designed according to the interests of the young scientists at the Badisches Landesmuseum. A total of 10 volunteers - from the fields of science, everyday and regional culture, cultural mediation, digital mediation, PR and marketing, management and controlling - are not only responsible for exhibition content or the accompanying program, but also take care of the financial plan and marketing strategies. The two years of practical experience at the Badisches Landesmuseum and the experience of designing a special exhibition themselves open up career opportunities in the big museum world for all trainees.
