Conversation: "Circulating Things"

A conversation with curators and researchers based in Basel as part of the "Ethnologie Fassbar" series of the Museum der Kulturen

In a conversation with curators and researchers based in Basel we will explore the presence and agency of things. The focus is on the contexts of their making and migration, their roles as mediators between different worlds, their changing functions and meanings along their ways. We follow their traces and impact in current debates on decolonization and restitution from different perspectives.

Part of the conversation:
Elisa da Costa, africanist, curator and podcaster
Marilyn Umurungi, curator, art and culture researcher
Zainabu Jallo, postdoctoral researcher and lecturer anthropology
Ursula Regehr, Africa curator at Museum der Kulturen Basel

Hosted by:
Henri-Michel Yéré, Lecturer, Poet and Culturescapes Board Member

Part of the Culturescapes Festival 2023
