Intervention by Kausar Qasim and Sett Ofili

The depot of the Linden-Museum Stuttgart is not only a place of storage, but also a potential space for stories, memories and creative experiences. Two members of the Black Community in Stuttgart visited the depot, explored the Africa collection and were inspired to intervene in the permanent exhibition Wo ist Afrika?

Kausar Qasim explores her family history in Somalia and links it to objects such as mortars and pestles, which become symbols of care. Sett Ofili tells the story of a flute player in a sound installation that takes the listener on a multi-layered journey. These personal and artistic contributions show the variety of perspectives that can arise from a sensitive approach to museum collections.
