DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mai Lin Tjoa-Bonatz will be our guest at CERES and will gi
 ve a lecture as part of the project "mission history collections". She wil
 l present her project "Provenance Check at the Werl Museum" in a Lunchbox 
 Lecture from 12.00-1.45 pm. \n\nThe Forum der Völker in Werl\, a Francis
 can mission museum\, is not only the largest anthropological museum in Wes
 tphalia\, but also the largest collection among some 80 such religious col
 lections from the mission areas in Germany. The collection goes back to th
 e Mission Museum in the Franciscan monastery in Dorsten\, which was opened
  in 1913. Objects from the mission areas were used for missionary training
 .\n\nNow\, the collection of the museum\, which was opened in Werl in 1962
  and comprises more than 14\,000 objects\, is being examined with regard t
 o sensitive colonial-era object holdings. An initial provenance check is b
 eing carried out to determine whether there could be any unlawful acquisit
 ion circumstances or unlawful contexts. The collection holdings from Asia\
 , Oceania\, Africa\, and the Americas include items from the colonial peri
 od\, but also come from post-colonial contexts\, the art trade\, and estat
 es. The research project lays the foundation for a possible deeper provena
 nce research on object histories and offers a first orientation regarding 
 the handling of objects of mission history.\n\nMai Lin Tjoa-Bonatz\, art h
 istorian (Dr. phil. 2001\, Technical University Darmstadt) conducts a prov
 enance initial check at the Museum\, Forum der Kulturen\, in Werl. She was
  an advisor to the Directorate of the National Museums in Berlin\, at the 
 Ethnological Museum and Museum of Asian Art in the Humboldt Forum. She als
 o teaches at various universities on the culture and history of Southeast 
 Asia in Germany and abroad: currently at Humboldt University Berlin\, and 
 previously as a visiting professor at the National University of the Phili
 ppines. She has been involved in excavation projects in Syria and Indonesi
 a. As a curator\, she has worked in exhibition projects on mission history
 \, maritime heritage\, toys or ancient gold.\n\nThe lecture will take plac
 e as a hybrid event via Zoom. This is the corresponding link: https://ruhr
