TALKING TO OBJECTS

TALKING TO OBJECTS are performative conversations with objects from museum collections.

We invite participants to enter into dialogue with objects. There is no hierarchy of knowledge. What does the object trigger? What associations does the object evoke? What questions would I like to ask the object, what would I like to know about it? The result is a multi-perspective view of the object and an interactive conversation with it. Following events at the Musée Théodore Monod in Dakar (2023) and the Museum Angewandte Kunst Frankfurt (2024), the third TALKING TO OBJECTS session with international fellows from The MuseumsLab took place in June 2025 at the Kunstgewerbemuseum – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (Museum of Decorative Arts Berlin). 

Curated by Isabel Raabe, moderated by Celina Basra. An event organised by TALKING OBJECTS LAB in cooperation with The MuseumsLab.
