The Aftermaths of Participation
How do participatory museum projects with forced migrants impact both the museum and the participants? What happens during these projects and what is left of them afterwards? Based on interviews with museum practitioners, facilitators and project participants, Susanne Boersma brings together unique insights into museum work with forced migrants. Her study of participatory projects in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK reveals museums' limiting infrastructures, the shortcomings of their ethical frameworks, and the problems of addressing forced migrants as 'communities'. Outlining the diverging objectives, experiences and outcomes of participatory projects, she suggests how these might be united in practice.

Göran Gnaudschun
Murcia ist eine sonnenverwohnte Region an der spanischen Mittelmeerküste. Seit Jahrtausenden wandern Menschen aus nah und fern ein. Murcias Klima ist ideal für den Obst- und Gemüseanbau, die dortige Agrarindustrie versorgt ganz Europa. Arbeitskräfte kommen aus dem östlichen Europa, Afrika und Südamerika in die Region. Andere Immigranten stammen aus Nord- und Mitteleuropa: Deutsche und Briten schätzen Murcia als Alterswohnsitz. Der Fotograf Göran Gnaudschun bereiste Murcia im Jahr 2020 für die Ausstellung "Murcia: Im Garten Europas" des Museums Europäischer Kulturen - Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. Er porträtierte die Zugezogenen: In ihren Gesichtern spiegeln sich Träume und Lebensrealitäten. Spuren von Bewegungen und Begegnungen fand er auch in der Landschaft und Architektur. Die Fotoserie und drei begleitende Artikel öffnen ein Fenster in eine bisher kaum bekannte Gegend Europas - in die Gegenwart der spanischen Region Murcia.
Future Memory Practices
Future Memory Work addresses a crucial challenge in contemporary pluralistic societies: the organisation of open, participatory and socially inclusive memory practices in digital media ecologies. It brings a novel relational approach to future memory work across institutions, people, and modalities. Advancing inter- and transdisciplinary research and rich empirical cases from across Europe and beyond, the book examines how memory practices in digital media are open for engagement of people with diverse backgrounds. It analyses the modalities of memory making and how they can enable institutional and public memory making with a broad spectrum of people and groups in civil society at local, tr...

The total of 1276 papers and 241 posters included in the 39 HCII 2021 proceedings volumes was carefully reviewed and selected from 5222 submissions.

Collections as Relations
This book explores anthropological and global art collections as a catalyst, a medium, and an expression of relations. Relations—between and among objects and media, people, and material and immaterial contexts—define, configure, and potentially transform collection-related social and professional networks, discourses and practices, and increasingly museums and other collecting institutions themselves. The contributors argue that a focus on the—often contested—making and remaking of relations provides a unique conceptual entrypoint for understanding collections’—and ‘their’ objects’ and media’s—complex histories, contemporary webs of interactions, and potential futures....
Spaces of Commemoration and Communication
In times of resurgence of ultra-nationalistic and xenophobic tendencies across Europe, education and awareness-raising for all age groups about the history of the Holocaust are of paramount for agency and civil engagement. Stefan Sonvilla-Weiss examines commemorative culture and its transformation towards interactive and participatory experiences through a novel form of visitor engagement at the Mauthausen memorial visiting center. This unique space from an arts-based and media research project builds on human-centered design and individual and collective experiences of contributing to a living memory culture.
Material Culture in Transit
Material Culture in Transit: Theory and Practice constellates curators and scholars actively working with material culture within academic and museal institutions through theory and practice. The rich collection of essays critically addresses the multivalent ways in which mobility reshapes the characteristics of artefacts, specifically under prevailing issues of representation and colonial liabilities. The volume attests to material culture as central to understanding the repercussions of problematic histories and proposes novel ways to address them. It offers valuable reading for scholars of anthropology, museum studies, history and others with an interest in material culture.
