CARMAH Conference 'Otherwise' - Session I on Provenance

The term 'provenance' has strong moral, political, and economic implications, thus research into the history of collections and objects is part of museum work in all fields. Can the idea of provenance do justice to the often intertwined trajectories of objects across places and between people or does it overemphasise notions of (single and true) origin? In this talk, this and other questions regarding provenance are touched upon by:
Larissa Förster (chair of the discussion)
Ciraj Rassool (on 'Provenance Politics')
Paul Basu (on 'Provenance Beyond Origins and Return: Thinking Through the Metaphor (and Politics) of Diaspora')
Britta Lange (on 'Possible Locations')
