One History - Two Perspectives: Exhibiting the Northwest
Coast in the Future Humboldt-Forum, Berlin June 16-17
The future Humboldt-Forum where Berlin’s Ethnologisches Museum will
move in a few years, is currently the most prominent German museum
project. For curators this move means both a major challenge and a major
opportunity in presenting ethnological objects in a new and innovative
way. The symposium with prominent participants from North America and
Europe will focus on one of the oldest and best-known collections of the
museum, its objects from the American Northwest Coast and the way it
can be presented in the future Humboldt-Forum. International scholars,
artists, and curators in the field of American Northwest Coast
anthropology, art and history will exchange ideas and experience in the
development of alternative readings of museum collections in
contemporary exhibitions and through co-operational projects with
source communities. The goal is to develop new ways of conveying the
“cultural Other“ in a museum-setting as well as to draw attention to new
aspects within the collections.
