Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. 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 illustrated 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 (202124), a project by eight Swiss museums focusing on provenance research on artifacts 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. AUTHORS: Esther Tisa Francini is head of archives and provenance research at the Museum Rietberg in Zurich and co-director of the Benin Initiative Switzerland. Alice Hertzog is a social anthropologist working as provenance researcher at the University of Zurich's Ethnographic Museum. Alexis Malefakis is a curator at the University of Zurich's Ethnographic Museum, where he is in charge of the Africa collection. Michaela Oberhofer is curator of art from Africa and Oceania at the Museum Rietberg in Zurich, and co-director of the Benin Initiative Switzerland. SELLING POINTS: .
