macht II beziehungen. Ausstellungsgespräch zur Provenienzforschung

In the organizer's words:

Diplomatic gifts, purchases, war campaigns and situations of highly unequal power relations: The collections of the Ethnologisches Museum came to Berlin in many different ways.

Using selected exhibits, provenance researchers invite visitors to talk about the complex changes of ownership and appropriation contexts. The exhibition tour provides insights into the history of the museum as well as current cooperation projects that deal with the colonial heritage in order to develop new visions for the future of the collections.

Following the tour, there will be an opportunity to discuss the methods and challenges of post-colonial provenance research.

Sophia Bokop is a provenance researcher in the project "The Collaborative Museum" at the Ethnologisches Museum and the Museum für Asiatische Kunst. In the project, the museums are testing pioneering working methods for all areas of museum practice in collaboration with international partners. The starting point is the collections and their contexts of acquisition, appropriation and translocation, preservation and research.
