A significant portion of European museums have built their collections through colonial and exploitative dynamics. Born to control how we look at and relate to the Other, ethnographic museums house thousands of artifacts taken from their places of origin, while often ignoring the identity of their original creators. Where do we stand now? How do we move forward? It’s clear that the time has come to start over, recognize history, and work with it.
In El museo metabólico, cultural historian and curator Clémentine Deliss blends autobiography with sharp, rigorous theses that challenge hegemonic cultural narratives. This book tells the story of what happens when an attempt is made to transform one of these institutions—the Weltkulturen Museum in Frankfurt, where Deliss served as director—into a living organism where contemporary thinkers and artists can translate, reinterpret, and give new meaning to everything the museum holds.
Clémentine Deliss, a Franco-Austrian curator and cultural historian, works across the boundaries of contemporary art, curatorial practice, and critical anthropology. As a teacher and researcher in institutions around the world, her practice is rooted in transdisciplinary and transcultural dialogues in contemporary art and museology. She is Professor of Global Humanities and Art History at the University of Cambridge and Associate Curator at the KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin.
