My upcoming lecture “Culture For Sale; a Postcolonial Völkerschau” hosted by Samoa Arts Council/University of the South Pacific/Australia National University/National University of Samoa will be held at the USP Lodge fale, Alafua campus, Upolu island Samoa on 11th Dec 2013 7pm start. The lecture explores the history of Samoan cultural display in the ‘völkerschau’ or ‘human zoo’ in Germany in the early 1900’s featuring never-seen-before archival material and how it informs my interdisciplinary work ‘Culture for Sale’ presented at Rautenstrauch Joest Museum, Cologne Germany and City Gallery Wellington, Aotearoa Niu Sila both in February 2014. Here is one of many photographs taken of Samoans at the Tierparks Hagenbeck zoo in Hamburg Germany. Photo courtesy of Museum für Völkerkunde Hamburg.
