Circulating Things

In a conversation with Basel-based curators and researchers, 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, Culturescapes Board Member The discussion is part of the event series “Ethnologie Fassbar” in the Museum der Kulturen.
