Un museo

An audio guide by Giuliana Kiersz

What lies behind an object, behind an exhibition hall, behind a museum, behind a voice? Argentine author and artist Giuliana Kiersz, 2020/21 fellow at Akademie Schloss Solitude, has created Un museo, a poetic and feminist audio guide for thinking the Linden-Museum. It was written from encounters and interviews with people working at the institution around the status of the collections and the aims of the Linden-Museum. Un museo takes the format of an audio guide that often creates a sense of truth and displays a hierarchy to transform it from and into a feminist space where to reflect on the role of museums in post-colonial times. It raises the question: What does a museum say about the society where it exists?
