13. November 2024 Planet Africa - An exhibition on two continents

The Planet Africa exhibition is a strong signal for cultural networking between Europe and Africa. This unique exhibition will be on show on two continents - in Germany as a traveling exhibition and in Africa as a permanent exhibition. It is a reflection of the rich cultural diversity, history and present of the African continent.

In Africa, Planet Africa will be shown at several important locations: Nairobi (Kenya), Rabat (Morocco), Maputo (Mozambique), Accra (Ghana) and Labomba (Eswatini). These cities were deliberately chosen to represent the diversity of Africa in all its dimensions. It is particularly noteworthy that the first boxes of the exhibition have already been set up in Accra and Maputo. In Maputo, in the cultural center, there are even two Module 3 boxes, which enrich the local cultural scene as impressive installations.

The traveling exhibition in Germany makes it possible for European visitors to experience African perspectives and narratives. Planet Africa is used here as a platform for intercultural exchange in order to present the African perspective in archaeology in a global context.

The boxes in African cities are more than just exhibition spaces. They serve as permanent cultural centers that promote dialogue between people and pay tribute to Africa's cultural independence and artistic production. The exhibition in Africa is therefore not just a temporary event, but a long-term project that brings the diversity and creative potential of the continent to the world.

Planet Africa is more than just an exhibition - it is a bridge between the continents that unites art, culture and history and ensures a mutual exchange.
