The Tropics
Views from the Middle of the Globe. The idea of the Tropics has always been a cultural construct and not just beyond the Tropics themselves. This catalogue takes European projections of the Tropics as its point of departure, and at the same time, aims to reflect on this construct. Two hundred exhibits from Africa, Asia, Oceania and tropical America from the collections of the Museum of Ethnology in Berlin enter into a dialogue with works by forty contemporary artists from Brazil, South America, Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. This project is the first time that such a bridge has been built between works created in pre-modern times
