African and European professionals with at least two years of practical experience in a museum, heritage site or art space are invited to apply for a TheMuseumsLab 2025 Fellowship. Starting online in May, and continuing onsite in Berlin and Addis Ababa, TheMuseumsLab 2025 will bring together 50 Fellows and numerous scholars, practitioners, artists and activists, all connected to the museum sphere. Together they will explore the history, present and future of museums, exchange knowledge, ideas, best practices, and engage with various museum spaces on both continents. Focusing on the overarching theme ‘Colonialism and Resistance’, TheMuseumsLab 2025 will look at ways of implementing spaces of resistance in exhibition practices as well as exploring approaches on how to deal with the legacy of colonialism in museums today.
