Machetes, tobacco, precious stones – colonial traces in crafts and trades

LWL Open-Air Museum Hagen, Hagen
Exhibition

About the project

At first glance, products such as African patties or coffee do not sound like Westphalian handicraft products, but due to global trade, they have a close connection to handicrafts as they were practiced in local workshops. A themed trail with 15 stations led through the museum grounds and opened up new perspectives. Various events accompanied the exhibition.
