German Lost Art Foundation receives visitors from Namibia

Between October 25 and November 1, the Berlin branch of the German Lost Art Foundation hosted Namibian museum curators. Golda Ha-eiros from the National Museum of Namibia in Windhoek and Ndeenda Shivute from the National Maritime Museum in Lüderitz informed themselves about funding opportunities and other activities in the field of colonial contexts, the development of respective debates in Germany and the research database Proveana.

Both had come to Berlin through the pro­gramme The­Mu­se­um­sLab (https://the­mu­se­um­slab.org/), which is fund­ed by i.a. the Fed­er­al For­eign Of­fice, the Fed­er­al Min­istry for Eco­nom­ic Co­op­er­a­tion and De­vel­op­ment and the Fed­er­al Gov­ern­ment Com­mis­sion­er for Cul­ture and Me­dia. The Foun­da­tion's staff al­so ben­e­fit­ed from the live­ly ex­change and was giv­en, for ex­am­ple, im­por­tant back­ground in­for­ma­tion about the mu­se­um land­scape in Namib­ia and the ini­tia­tives to doc­u­ment and pro­tect cul­tur­al her­itage there.
