Beschreibung
Since 2019, the IIP has been contacting museums around the world asking them to share the data of Kenyan cultural heritage in their collections. This resulted in an inventory of Kenyan objects held in the "Global North" including over 32,000 historic Kenyan cultural objects from thirty institutions worldwide. The online launch of the database was eagerly awaited by colleagues in the field and has finally taken place in June 2021. IIP’s Global Database is among the first African-led initiatives that aim to systematically and internationally gather object information and object images and make both accessible to communities and stakeholders on the African continent as well as abroad. The workshop will give participants the chance to learn about the processes through which the database was setup, the modes of collaboration with local communities that were employed,and how questions of access as well as ethical issues emerging from the publication of potentially sensitive information were navigated. Discussionwill center on establishing what can and should be learned from this pilotfor other collaborative projects.
Speakers: Juma Ondeng (Principal Curator at the regional museumin western Kenya, Kitale Museum - National Museums of Kenya,founding member of the IIP); Jim Chuchu (Director of The Nest Collective,member of the IIP)
Chair: Larissa Förster, German Lost Art Foundation
