A process of change

8:00 AM - 20:00 The Opera House @ The Village Windhoek

By invitation only.

Museums in Africa are undergoing a process of change. Directors of the new generation critically scrutinize existing collections and traditional forms of exhibition and presentation. With the series "Museum Conversations", the Goethe-Institut brings international academics, museum experts and curators together to discuss the future of African museums from a post-colonial perspective.

A series of presentations and discussions on the Namibian museum landscape, the role of communities, representations and presentations in museums, and the future of African museums’ narrative.

The "Museum Conversations" are a series of projects run by the Goethe-Institutes in Sub-Saharan Africa and take place at the participating locations in cooperation with local national museums, museums associations, ministries and UNESCO. They offer space for the initiation of an inner African discourse.
