LAB 2: New ways of provenance research and their mediation / Exemplified by the collection areas selected for the labs

The examination of the colonial period by means of proven­ance research is increasingly establishing itself as a core task of ethnological museums, but its presentation has so far been sidelined. This lab is looking for new ways of displaying the results — for the Stuttgart public, but also for represen­tatives of source communities. How can acquisition contexts be made visible in exciting ways? How can the diverse assessments of an object be appropriately presented?
