In recent years more and more museums have come under increasing criticism. In this context, the term "postkolonial" often came up. At the same time, postcolonial approaches came under pressure in various ways. The lecture offers a definition of the term within this debate and uses approaches from theory and practice to show what "postkolonial" means in the museum today.
Admission is free. Registration is not required.
The lecture will also be streamed live via the museum's YouTube account.
