Paperback. Condition: New. This multifaceted reader explores the cultural heritage of the pre-colonial Kingdom of Benin, in the territory of what today is Nigeria. Objects from Benin are held also in Swiss museums and, as in other countries of the Global North, have become the subject of controversial debate. The richly illustra…ted volume offers new findings on the historical and current significance of artefacts. Moreover, it highlights the current dialogue with partners from Nigeria and the diaspora, reflecting on the methods of cooperative research and the future of the objects currently kept in Swiss collections. Biographies of individual items and examples of mediation and exhibition practice provide an insight into interwoven histories, the international art trade, and post-colonial reconciliation work between Africa and Europe.Mobilizing: Benin Heritage in Swiss Museums is published as part of the Benin Initiative Switzerland (2021-24), a project by eight Swiss museums focusing on provenance research on artefacts from colonial contexts. Texts and images invite reflection on art works and values, relationships, and views of history. The close collaboration with representatives from Nigeria and the diaspora enables new forms of knowledge production. This not only sets cultural heritage in motion, but also the museum as an institution itself.

Hardback. Condition: New. A single Congo does not exist - or is in any case fictitious. Yet the Democratic Republic of Congo has an extraordinarily vibrant art scene that attracts great interest from around the world. Nowhere else in Africa art production is as manifold in form, media, and materials used. For many years, Congole…se artists have been exploring and reflecting upon the effects of globalised trade, colonialism, proselytisation, and virtual boundaries. As the works of artists such as Sammy Baloji or Sinzo Aanza demonstrate, these effects never before were more topical than today.For the first time, this book, which is published in conjunction with an exhibition at Zurich's Museum Rietberg, features objects and photographs collected by the German anthropologist Hans Himmelheber during his journey to the Congo in 1938-39. The coloured masks, imposing figures, and richly decorated everyday objects bear witness to the period's extraordinary creativity and innovativeness as well as of the collector's own idea of Congo. They are juxtaposed with works by contemporary Congolese artists and complemented by essays that investigate the fiction of Congo both as an African and Western World imagination. Thus, the book links the past with the utopia of contemporary artistic production in central Africa.Published to accompany the exhibition Congo as Fiction: Art Worlds Between Past and Present at Museum Rietberg, Zurich, between 22 November 2019 and 15 March 2020.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. There is no single voice of the Democratic Republic of Congo but a multitude of diverse cultures and voices, contributing to a vibrant art scene that attracts interest from around the world. Nowhere in Africa is there an art scene more varied in form, media, and material.Published to accompa…ny an exhibition at Museum Rietberg in Zurich, Congo as Fiction: Art Worlds between Past and Present juxtaposes objects collected and photographs by the German anthropologist Hans Himmelheber during his journey to the Congo from 1938 to 1939 with works by contemporary Congolese artists and essays that investigate the fictions of Congo in both African and Western imaginations. The colorful masks and richly decorated everyday objects collected by Himmelheber reflect the extraordinary creativity and innovativeness of Congolese artists of the period but also the collectors own idea of Congo. The book links the past with contemporary artistic production, showing how for many years Congolese artists like Sammy Baloji and Sinzo Aanza have been exploring in their work the effects of colonialism and globalized trade. Investigates comprehensively how Congolese artists have been exploring and reflecting upon the effects of globalised trade, colonialism, proselytisation, and virtual boundaries Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Auch in Schweizer Museen befinden sich Objekte aus Benin. Neben neuen Erkenntnissen zur historischen und aktuellen Bedeutung der Artefakte zeigt das reich bebilderte Buch auch den heutigen Dialog mit Partnerinnen und Partnern aus Nigeria und der Diaspora auf. Sowohl die Methoden der kooperativen Forschung als auch die Zukunft der hier verwahrten Gegenstände werden reflektiert. Objektbiografien und Beispiele aus der Vermittlungs- und Ausstellungspraxis geben Einblick in die verflochtenen Geschichten, in den internationalen Kunsthandel und in postkoloniale Erinnerungsarbeit zwischen Afrika und Europa. Das Buch erscheint als Teil der Benin Initiative Schweiz (2021-2024), einem Projekt von acht Schweizer Museen, das sich mit der Erforschung der Provenienzen von Objekten aus kolonialen Kontexten befasst. Texte und Bilder bieten Gelegenheit, über Werke und Werte, Beziehungen und Geschichtsbilder nachzudenken. Die Zusammenarbeit mit Vertreterinnen und Vertretern aus Nigeria und der Diaspora ermöglicht neue Formen der Wissensproduktion. Dabei gerät nicht nur das Kulturerbe in Bewegung, sondern auch das Museum.
