Evening exploration in the museum: rediscover ÜBERSEeHEN
The after-work guided tour through the exhibition ÜBERSEeHEN invites a concentrated look at two centuries of Duisburg history. In the Cultural and Urban Historical Museum, it becomes visible how closely urban development, trade, missions, and colonial entanglements are interconnected.
An exhibition between history and present
The tour opens a space for critical memory culture. It shows what traces the German colonial period has left in Duisburg and how these resonate to this day. Street names, representations in children's books, and the perspective on trade and missions make historical connections as tangible as their contemporary effects.
Tour as an aesthetic and political examination of work
The exhibition works with the narrative power of urban history. Visitors do not experience a dry chronicle, but a multifaceted examination of historical sources, objects, and interpretations. Especially in the evening atmosphere, the museum unfolds its special exhibition ambiance: calm, clear, and yet full of intellectual tension.
Duisburg in the mirror of global entanglements
ÜBERSEeHEN links local memory with global history. The tour through two centuries of urban history makes it clear that Duisburg was not only a port and trading city but also a place of colonial entanglements. The art experience is not created solely through images or exhibits, but through the precisely curated connection of knowledge, space, and narration.
An educational offer with relevance
The event appeals to art and culture enthusiasts as well as people interested in urban history, postcolonial perspectives, and cultural education. Through the mediation of Miriam Monsemvula and Marie Vetter, the exhibition is made accessible, approachable, and at the same time professionally grounded.
Conclusion: This after-work tour offers an impressive opportunity to see Duisburg's history from a new perspective. Those who value historical connections, critical questions, and a carefully curated exhibition should experience this event live in the museum.
