How is the Musée d'ethnographie a player in the colonial context?
What do its collections have to say about it?
For this visit, historian Fabio Rossinelli, who contributed to the historical content of the exhibition, and exhibition curator Floriane Morin will shed light on the colonial history of Geneva's Musée d'ethnographie. With them, you'll discover the exhibition's thematic and historical itinerary, which retraces in "objects" a global history of colonization through the prism of Geneva, and more generally of Switzerland. Along the way, different voices and events bear witness to past and present resistance to colonialism.

Speakers
Florian Morin, curator of the exhibition and curator of the Africa Department
Fabio Rossinelli, historian
