LINDEN MUSEUM
STUTTGART

RESTITUTION AS PROCESS  
The restitution of objects looted in 1897 in the Kingdom of Benin (Nigeria) is in full swing at the Linden Museum. With a presentation in the upper foyer, we trace  the objects to the Linden Museum historically, make milestones of their return to Benin City visible, and present perspectives on their future.

WELT MUSEUM 
WIEN AUSTRIA
DARK PAIRING
The 14 partner museums explore the connections between ethnographic collections and questions about the climate crisis and the Anthropocene, and therefore , address the aftermath of colonialism This recognition of the  development of colonial cultures and history is the theme of T. Lauw in Dark Pairing  by interweaving plants in a fine-meshed network. Images of cultural inscription arise precisely from the impossibility of unraveling the materials.
