The demand for decolonisation of museums and a critical reappraisal of colonial knowledge is challenging established forms of museum work as well as canonised narratives of art historiography. In the exhibition Whose Expression? The Brücke-Artists and Colonialism, the Brücke-Museum addresses the question of how current debates about racism and colonialism are changing the view of the work and lives of these artists. The exhibition “Transition Exhibition” in the neighbouring Kunsthaus Dahlem presents Karl Schmidt-Rottluff’s collection from colonial contexts and takes a critical stance on traditional forms of exhibiting. In collaboration with contemporary artists, new narratives emerge that “re-activate” the artefacts.
