Histories for the Global Present. Curatorial learning in School and Museum

Historical collection objects have a lot to tell about the global interconnections of our present. Often, however, they lack a contemporary translation. The project is developing a digital mediation platform that enables students to question the objects themselves and place them in new contexts.
