Calendar of the Francke Foundations
Out of Borneo
Provenance and Materiality of Objects from Borneo in the Cabinet of Artefacts and Natural Curiosities at the Halle Orphanage in an International Comparative Perspective
The Cabinet of Artefacts and Natural Curiosities of the Francke Foundations is a museum space from the 18th century. But the collection also has a lively history in the 19th century. This includes the exciting, challenging history of objects from Borneo, which were sent to Halle in the 1840s and which are embedded in current debates and post-colonial research. A project funded by the German Lost Art Foundation is now investigating the provenances of the objects in an in-depth analysis.
The digital, international workshop with experts from various institutes in Germany, England and Malaysia/Borneo brings together research and findings relating to collections and the collection history of objects from Borneo. The aim is to highlight the connections between the individual collections, in which the objects in the Kunst- und Naturalienkammer of the Francke Foundations can be classified as one of the earliest collections.
The interdisciplinary workshop will be held exclusively online and in English. Please register with Giulia Speciale.
