Different Points of Return
29.11.–15.12.2024
The research project Taking Back the Museum – Opening the Space of Community Museums to Recover the Art of Indigenous People (2021–2024) aims to reverse the pattern of taking Indigenous art objects to Western museums by collaborating with Indigenous communities while citing recent decolonial and post-human art discussions, which deal with Indigenous people and often stem from their communities originally. The exhibition Different Points of Return addresses the multi-layered outcomes of the project. The research project is funded by the Kone Foundation.
