Book launch and exhibition tour at the Weltkulturen Museum with Matthias Claudius Hofmann, Richard Kuba, Christina Henneke and Isabel Kreuder (editors and curators).
At the book launch at the Weltkulturen Museum, individual essays from the book ‘Country bin pull'em. Ein gemeinsamer Blick zuzrück’ will be made tangible in an exhibition tour. The authors of the publication provide insights into the diversity of topics covered in the exhibition and the book from different perspectives. The four ethnologists discuss the reappraisal of the historical expedition collections from Australia, present key results of the joint research with the indigenous communities and talk about the significance of the archive materials for people's everyday lives today.
The publication was produced in association with the Wanjina Wunggurr community of indigenous people from Australia and the Frobenius Institute for Cultural Anthropological Research at the Goethe University in Frankfurt, to accompany an exhibition of the same name. It is available in a German and an English edition from Kerber Verlag at a price of 32 euros. The book is available at the Weltkulturen Museum at the reduced museum price of 28 euros.
The tour of the Weltkulturen Museum, Schaumainkai 29, is included in the admission price of €7 (reduced €3.50) and does not require an appointment.
