Paperback. Condition: New. This multifaceted reader explores the cultural heritage of the pre-colonial Kingdom of Benin, in the territory of what today is Nigeria. Objects from Benin are held also in Swiss museums and, as in other countries of the Global North, have become the subject of controversial debate. The richly illustra…ted volume offers new findings on the historical and current significance of artefacts. Moreover, it highlights the current dialogue with partners from Nigeria and the diaspora, reflecting on the methods of cooperative research and the future of the objects currently kept in Swiss collections. Biographies of individual items and examples of mediation and exhibition practice provide an insight into interwoven histories, the international art trade, and post-colonial reconciliation work between Africa and Europe.Mobilizing: Benin Heritage in Swiss Museums is published as part of the Benin Initiative Switzerland (2021-24), a project by eight Swiss museums focusing on provenance research on artefacts from colonial contexts. Texts and images invite reflection on art works and values, relationships, and views of history. The close collaboration with representatives from Nigeria and the diaspora enables new forms of knowledge production. This not only sets cultural heritage in motion, but also the museum as an institution itself.

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. In Afrika beginnen unsere alten Schuhe ein neues Leben. Neben kommerziellen Kleidersammlern, Sortierern und Zwischenhändlern leben auch Tausende von Straßenhändlern in Afrika vom Verkauf gebrauchter Kleider und Schuhe. Sie müssen wissen, welche Schuhe in den Straßen gerade…in Mode sind; welche unterschiedlichen Arten von Kundinnen es gibt und welche unterschiedlichen Stile von Schuhen diese nachfragen; wann und wo diese Kundinnen am wahrscheinlichsten zu finden sind; wie man sie am besten anspricht; und welche Preise sie bereit sind zu bezahlen. Dieses spezialisierte Expertenwissen ist die Basis erfolgreicher Arbeit. Der Band gewährt Einblicke in die Lebenswelt einer Gruppe von Straßenhändlern aus der tansanischen Millionenmetropole Dar es Salaam.
