How can artefacts be exhibited without falling into problematic categories like "Europe" and "the Other"? Can we make sense of the distinction between art and ethnology or art and material culture? What stories can objects in museums tell today? How can we revise the established narratives and rethink the role of museums? What are the alternative narratives, traditions and concepts?At the WeberWorldCafé "Museum, Power, and Identity" on June 11, 2015 in the Museen Dahlem, Berlin, we may discuss these and other questions at different tables with the following table hosts:Identity, Language and Museum: Dr. des.
