Rumble in the Archive. Interventions on Postcolonial Zurich

What role did the "Zurich Ethnographic Collection" play in colonial trade? What strategies for reparation and healing exist in light of the racist violence of 'human zoos'? What might an Afropean guild house in Zurich look like?

"Rumble in the Archive" is not an exhibition, but a critical space for archiving, learning, and meeting, created by residents from the arts, research and civil society together with guest curator and social anthropologist Rohit Jain and the museum team. Over the course of several months, a new, polyphonic archive on Zurich's colonial history and postcolonial present will gradually take shape. BIPOC communities and the public are invited to develop new visions for a postcolonial Zurich – so get ready to rumble!
