Fellow-Lecture: „Ur & Alexandria: Counter-narrating museum history to access diverse heritage“

Dr. Isabel Hufschmidt

Ur & Alexandria is a project about unlearning museum history that has been established as a meta-narrative by the Global North since the 19th century. Museum history is a pivotal catalyst in the obliteration and loss of non-Western and diverse heritage. How to unfold the visibility of and access to marginalized and endangered players, heritage practices, geographies, languages, temporalities and terminologies? The project offers a counter-narrative for the unlearning process, particularly to deconstruct gender bias and Occidental monopoly in museum history. The talk will give an insight into the project's processes and its perspective to establish the counter-narrative digitally through a virtual atlas based on deep mapping. It is about a multi-perspective historical approach with the access and share of the project to a global community.
