As part of a seminar on critical archival research and museology by Vanessa Ohlraun (Department of History at Leibniz Universität Hannover) and Dr. Mareike Späth (Landesmuseum Hannover), Dr. Isabel Bredenbröker will present the research project "Queering the Museum", which she developed together with participants of the Berlin University Alliance research group of the same name, on 24 January 2024 at 16:15. Under the title "Non-Normative Relations Wanted!", the research results were presented at the Ethnological Museum Berlin (in the Humbolt Forum). This includes an interactive map of selected holdings of the Ethnological Museum Berlin by Karina Belik and Polina Shablovskaia, which can be interacted with. Andreas Rumpf has also developed an audio tour about German discourses on colonial heritage, decolonization and restitution (here).
