And how can new perspectives and relationships emerge through museum collections? The exhibition <em data-renderer-mark=\"true\">Togo: Weaving New Connections<\/em> brings together the historic collection, contemporary art, and present-day perspectives from Togo. In this conversation, participating researchers and artists offer insights into their work and share their viewpoints. What stories does the collection tell, and what questions does it raise for us today? How can contemporary art open up new ways of interpreting a shared history?<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"10496\" data-local-id=\"3e867be2eb7b\"><em data-renderer-mark=\"true\">Nh\u00e9\u2019\u1ebd<\/em> are circular conversations where knowledge, experiences, and perspectives are shared.
