What does German colonialism mean for teenagers today? In what way does this historically charged topic impinge upon their world? And is it even possible to "narrate" or "show" it within a museum context?

In order to answer these questions, a team of educators, scenographers and researchers have elaborated some possible answers, and designed a space in which different voices can be heard. In this space a variety of communication formats and discussion options for teenage visitors are being tried out.

"(No) Place in the Sun" should be understood as an invitation to absorb and deal with the pivotal topic of colonialism relevant to so many areas of the Ethnologisches Museum; these experiences will be used for the Humboldt-Forum.

A project by Ute Marxreiter, Charlotte Kaiser, Paul Beaury, Cassandra Ellerbe-Dück and Indra Lopez Velasco.


School workshops on the project "(No) Place in the Sun"
How can the topic of German colonialism be explained to a teenage audience?
