Colonialities, climate change, nuclear testing and environmental destruction – these are the common themes that students of Meitaka Kendall at the College of the Marshall Islands (CMI) and international art students of Hannes Brunner at the Weißensee School of Art, Berlin, have exchanged. The point of reference is the exhibition “People and the Sea” of the Ethnologisches Museum der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin on the 2nd floor of the Humboldt Forum and the objects from the Marshall Islands shown there. The result is a series of small artistic formats that use a variety of means to start a dialogue with the objects and the visitors. The three-day presentation consists of installations and – as the highpoint – two digital live-connections between Majuro and Berlin – sunset to sunrise – on Saturday April 2 at 10.30 am and 12.00 pm.

*”Seeking and Sharing Island Knowledge” is the Marshallese motto of the collaborative work between the College of the Marshall Islands, the Weißensee School of Art, the Ethnologisches Museum der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin  and the Stiftung Humboldt Forum im Berliner Schloss. More information about the students’ collaboration.
