🏛️✨ Exhibition Tip! ✨🏛️

At the Winckelmann-Museum, you can currently visit:

“Kostbare Miniaturen. Kunst des Steinschneidens in acht Jahrtausenden”

https://www.winckelmann-gesellschaft.com/veranstaltungen/die-kunstsammlung-des-sammlers-gelehrten-und-diplomaten-werner-daum/

The exhibition explores the collection of Werner Daum and the fascinating networks behind it. Why does this excite us in the KIŠIB project?

Because collections are never neutral.
They are shaped by access 🔑, politics 🏛️, scholarship 🧠, and personal vision 👁️.

My interview partner was Flower Manase, one of the curators at the National Museum and House of Culture in Dar es Salaam:
