The exhibition is the result of a cooperation with the Tlingit, an indigenous population group in South East Alaska. The starting point is the Bremen Tlingit collection, one of the oldest in the Übersee-Museum, which was originally intended to document a supposedly dying culture. However, the Tlingit culture did not die out and is experiencing a new heyday today. A discussion with Tlingit representatives provides a unique insight into their cultural traditions.
with Dr. Claudia Roch (curator) and representatives of the Tlingit- Joe Zuboff and Garfield George (heads of the Deisheetan Clan) and Dr. Chuck Smythe (senior ethnologist at the Sealaska Heritage Institute)
partly in English with translation | without registration, limited number of seats (20 p.)
