Object Stage
For people who experience racism, antisemitism or classism, having their perspectives overlooked is often part of everyday life. This is evident, for example, in the absence of certain narratives or in the way things are contextualised. For many, visiting a museum is like a game of “What’s missing?”.
The intervention series Wish You Were Here! is a response to the permanent exhibition and centres the absent from the perspective of four experts on oppression. The interventions thus create points of connection for all those who are usually excluded. At the same time, they encourage people to critically reflect on their own perspectives, especially those whose views typically take centre stage.
All of the interventions are united by a distinctive visual design that also emphasises their special significance within the exhibition.
Further alternative stories about everyday objects in the collection, created by the authors of the interventions, can be found in the museum app route “Innocent Things?”.
