Museum of Namibian Fashion - confronting colonial past, envisioning creative futures with Sophia Nuuyuni and Inah Edhiga

from Museum Explorations · host University of Warwick Museum Studies Network

Robert O'Toole, director of the Digital Arts and Humanities Lab at Warwick University, recently did a short expedition around Namibia. He visited several wonderful museums, exploring how the incredible diversity of the country is represented, how this is shaped by post-colonial ambitions and reality, and how Namibian museums are oriented towards community engagement. In this first interview, after riding by motorcycle 250 kilometres north of Windhoek to the Museum of Namibian Fashion, Robert chats with Sophia Nuuyuni and Inah Edhiga about the museum, its activities, and goals. This includes positive stories about bringing artefacts back from museums in Germany.Enjoy!
