COUNTRY BIN PULL‘EM. Looking back together

hat significance does millennia-old rock art from Australia have today? What potential do ethnographic and historical collections hold for Indigenous communities, museums and post-colonial cooperation? The Indigenous Wanjina Wunggurr Community – comprising the Worrorra, Ngarinyin and Wunambal people – and the Weltkulturen Museum are now coming together to look back at the 1938 Frobenius Expedition from Frankfurt to the Kimberley region of North-West Australia.

Visitors will be able to see copies of monumental rock paintings, historical photographs and ethnographic objects. There will also be contemporary works by Indigenous artists which have been created through a process of engaging with the collections of the Frobenius Institute and the Weltkulturen Museum.
