Ethnographic museums in Europe have for some time been under legitimizing pressure. The fundamental discourse of their exhibitions is as much at stake here as their collection history, which all too often owes itself to colonial self-empowerment.more
It is clear that things cannot go on like this. In her current publication, Clémentine Deliss shows that things can also be quite different. It offers an exciting mix of autobiographically informed novel and scientifically arguing thesis paper on contemporary art and ethnology. Reflections on her own work as director of the Frankfurt World Cultures Museum meet formative discussions with influential filmmakers, artists and writers. Descriptions of conditions meet the Metabolic Museum, which as an interventionist laboratory opens up potential collections for the future.
