Der Kolonialismus in den Dingen

The large-scale exhibition presents unique historical artifacts from Africa, Asia, and Oceania that arrived in Munich during the colonial era and are now often regarded as masterpieces. Historical contexts are supplemented by contemporary contributions from researchers from Cameroon and Tanzania, as well as a lyrical intervention. This exhibition opens up diverse perspectives on an era marked by violence, the effects of which are still felt today.
