Einband stw. geringfügig berieben. - Englisch. - This resource and the accompanying education programme at the African Window Museum in Pretoria was generously sponsored by: The Government of the Netherlands and the Royal Net…herlands Embassy in Pretoria, The City of Rotterdam, The Mondriaan Foundation (Impressum) // The objects you see all come from Africa - some were made to be used in every day life, and some were made for special occasions. The oldest object in the collection is almost six hundred years old! It is one of many objects that were taken to Europe by explorers, traders, missionaries, doctors, and collectors from museums who were visiting Africa. The first Europeans in Africa came to explore the unknown continent, to make money and to teach their religion to the African peoples. People in Europe became very curious about Africa, and more and more objects were collected and taken back to show them. One of the places where these objects were studied and admired in Europe, was the Museum of Ethnology in the harbour town of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. A museum of ethnology studies how people live and displays objects that were made by people from all over the world. Much like the museum you are standing in now, a museum of ethnology shows us objects that are not in the space they were made for. It is a place where we take special notice of the objects and try to understand what they meant to the people who made them. We try to discover how those people lived. In this resource we speak about the objects in the past tense. This does not mean that all these traditions are dead, but refers to the time that the objects were collected. Many of the old traditions survive and continue alongside new traditions today. "Umuntu ngumuntu nja banye abantu," quotes the South African writer Elza Miles in the large red catalogue that goes with this exhibition. She is quoting the words of the South African artist Ernest Mancoba when he expresses an ancient African idea: "Man is man on account of other people". We are who we are because of other people . Some of the objects on this exhibition left Africa many years ago in wooden sailing ships. They have travelled a long,/way back again in two aeroplanes to be here now, for you to see. They are here today to tell you their story. (Vorwort) ISBN 0620248505 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
