The exhibition is the result of an extensive process in which a group of Umoⁿhoⁿ people told the story of their lives and culture, their past and present. The exhibition is conceived as a circle of stories—there is no beginning and no end. An integral part is a 7-channel film installation in which 22 individual sequences are assembled by an algorithm into ever new combinations. By focusing not only on the objects, but above all on today’s people and their stories, the exhibition aims to create new perspectives on Native American culture and history.
