This exhibition turns the museum inside out: it examines German colonialism through reproductions rather than artifacts, centering the gaze between colonizers and the colonized in Cameroon, Namibia, and Oceania. Rare films trace Namibians who grew up in the GDR, adding a surprising East German chapter to the story.
