Webinar 'Mission-Colonialism Revisited'.

Between racism and respect: What do colonialism and missions have to do with racism?

2403 racism and respect

How did missionaries engage with foreign cultures and people in the 19th century? The portrayals of non-European societies in historical missionary publications provide illuminating answers to this question. German scholar Tevodai Mambai examined German-language travel and missionary reports about mountain dwellers in northern Cameroon and north-eastern Nigeria. And Marilyn Umurungi, art and cultural practitioner, analyzes how such descriptions of that time still shape our view of Black people today. In our webinar series, we bring the two researchers into conversation.

Colonial Looting of Cultural Artefacts: Restitution? Reparation?

2406 theft of cultural assets Revised

Ritual objects, works of art, plants and animals from all over the world looted during the colonial era are stored in European museums - including in Switzerland. The Basel Mission has also collected religious, ethnographic and natural history objects for research and exhibition purposes in its working areas. Should non-European cultural artefacts remain in Western museums today? What does an appropriate restitution practice look like? A discussion with experts from the Global South.

Trip

Encounter trip to Chile

puerto varas

The encounter trip 2024 leads to Chile, "the elongated country" full of contrasts. The culture of the country is as rich as the landscape is diverse, ranging from untouched wilderness to endless expanses and pulsating life in the cities. In addition to the scenic sights, we will visit Mission 21 projects and church communities and get to know the country and its people. Optionally, the trip can be extended to Patagonia and Argentina.
