Rassismuskritisches Kuratieren
Nicht nur in ethnologischen Museen, sondern auch in kulturgeschichtlichen Museen und Kunstmuseen gibt es einen großen Nachholbedarf im Umgang mit dem Kolonialismus und seinen Folgen, insbesondere im Umgang mit rassistischen Sammlungsobjekten. Die Aktivitäten von schwarzen und weißen Aktivist:innen in der Gesellschaft, ein neues Interesse an postkolonialen Forschungsansätzen an den Universitäten sowie das 360°-Programm der Kulturstiftung des Bundes zur Diversifizierung von Programm, Publikum und Personal in Kultureinrichtungen haben bundesweit zu einer erhöhten Sensibilisierung für die Thematik des rassismuskritischen Kuratierens bzw. Ausstellens geführt. Der vorliegende Band versammelt Beiträge zu diesem Themenfeld, die aus einer wissenschaftlichen Tagung am Bremer Focke-Museum hervorgegangen sind.
"Stadt der Kolonien"
Über die Restitution von geraubten Kulturgütern bis hin zu postkolonialen Identitätsdebatten hat die Kolonialgeschichte in den vergangenen Jahren intensive gesellschaftliche Debatten befeuert. Auslöser sind häufig lokale Konflikte über Straßennamen, Denkmäler und Museumsausstellungen. Dies gilt auch für Bremen, einstiger Wegbereiter des offiziellen deutschen Kolonialreichs und Zentrum der Kolonialrevisionisten. Seit den 1970er Jahren ist die Stadt führend in der Aufarbeitung ihrer kolonialen Vergangenheit. Dieses anregende Lesebuch stellt Schlüsselakteure, Orte und Institutionen dieser Entwicklung vor und wirft ein Schlaglicht auf die deutsche (post-) koloniale Geschichte.

Re-Connect: Art and Conflict in Brotherland
Shines a light on the cultural diplomacy of East Germany, the working conditions of contract workers, and the taboo subject of racism. Though foreign artists from Egypt, Ethiopia, Israel, and Uruguay studied at art schools in the German Democratic Republic, their work is absent from reviews of East German art. Re-Connect remedies this omission, drawing our attention to art created by migrants from the so-called socialist brotherlands, including work by César Olhagaray, Getachew Yossef Hagoss, Michael Touma, and Teresa Casanueva. The volume also recounts the history of immigration and reunification from the perspective of migrants and their descendants. Art by young people of color with biographical connections to the GDR--such as Philipp Farra, Minh Duc Pham, Alina Simmelbaur, and Sarnt Utamachote--complements this discussion. An insightful look at transnational art created in Germany, the catalog accompanies a 2023 exhibition at the Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig.

Image Testimonies
Recent political conflicts signal an increased proliferation of image testimonies shared widely via social media. Although witnessing with and through images is not a phenomenon of the internet era, contemporary digital image practices and politics have significantly intensified the affective economies of image testimonies. This volume traces the contours of these conditions and develops a conception of image testimony along four areas of focus. The first and second section of this volume reflects the discussion of image testimonies as an interplay of evidential qualities and their potential to express affective relationalities and emotional involvement. The third section focuses on the ques...
Genealogy of Popular Science
Despite the efforts of modern scholars to explain the origins of science communication as a social, rhetorical, and aesthetic phenomenon, most researchers approach the popularization of science from the perspective of present issues, thus ignoring its historical roots in classical culture along with its continuities, disruptions, and transformations. This volume fills this research gap with a genealogically reflected introduction into the popularization of science as a recurrent cultural technique. The category »popular science« is elucidated in interdisciplinary and diachronic dialogue, discussing case studies from all historical periods. Classicists, archaeologists, medievalists, art historians, sociologists, and historians of science provide the first diachronic and multi-layered approach to the rhetoric techniques, aesthetics, and societal conditions that have shaped the dissemination and reception of scientific knowledge.
