SUMMARY:(Un)known Creators from the Americas — \nThe Role of Indigenous A
 uthorship in Anthropological Museums
DESCRIPTION:\n\n28. November 2025\, 13.00 – 20.00 \n 29. November 2025\, 
 09.30 – 18.00 \n\nOrganised by Museum der Kulturen Basel and Corpus Amer
 icanensium Antiquitatum-Kommission Schweiz \n\nFrom small earrings to bo
 ats and houses\, from light feather works to heavy stone blocks: The col
 lections of Anthropological Museums contain an enormous quantity of thin
 gs that invite us to engage with archives of human creativity. But who a
 re the people who made them? Established practices of collecting and pre
 senting things have often overlooked their creators. Conversely\, Indige
 nous actors carefully and consciously chose what information about autho
 rship to share with collectors\, researchers\, and museums. \n\nThis con
 ference takes a closer look at the narratives about the artists\, creato
 rs\, makers (their lives\, biographies and skills) of items of daily use
 \, things of ritual significance\, sound\, photography\, and movies pres
 erved in museums. It also aims to shed light on the Indigenous impact on
  museum collections and the practice of collecting in general. The confe
 rence challenges the knowledge production of Anthropological Museums and
  provenance research practices. \n\nPresentations will be in English\, S
 panish and Portuguese \n\nRegistration and Information: \n\njago.steidle
