Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Maike Schimanowski talks about her insights and experiences as co-curator of the exhibition "Histories of Tanzania" at the Humboldt Forum Berlin. She informs about challenges & accomplishments of the collaborative project by National Museum of Tanzania, Ethnological Museum Berlin and Stiftung Humboldt Forum. A noteworthy aspect is how the joint curatorial team reached out to communities in Tanzania to ask for their consent before presenting colonial loot held by the Ethnological Museum Berlin. Presently, it is unclear how the agreed-upon second presentation of the exhibition in Tanzania could be implemented.
