Afterlives of Empire – Encounters of Art and Academia

Gesa Stedman coordinated this exchange project with artists and art students from Berlin and Oxford and produced cut-outs, clay panels, and a series of Morse collages based on the Sudan Archaeological Collection at HU. The works were shown at an exhibition at Lichthof Ost at HU Berlin, and a public panel debate, and a school workshop were also part of the project funded by Humboldt-Universitäts-Gesellschaft.
