The project TAKING CARE - Ethnographic and World Cultures Museums as Spaces of Care began on 1 October 2019 and places ethnographic and world cultures museums at the centre of the search for possible strategies to address these issues. TAKING CARE is a large-scale European cooperation project led by the Weltmuseum Wien, scheduled to run for four years, it brings together fourteen partner organisations and is co-financed by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union, which has contributed two million euro. The project is framed around the notion of care, caring, and the power relations assumed by those who ‘care for’ another person. We are interested in the knowledges that our collections have, ancestral and contemporary, which might afford us, as curators based in the Global North, to better render ourselves humble as we witness the nefarious effects of an Enlightenment-based legacy, whose intentions were perhaps ‘good’, but whose knowledges about caring for our planet and each other increasingly reveal pretention and violence. We hope to think critically alongside the objects that our museums contain, with partners around the world, and notably whose heritage is intimately linked to the provenance of our objects about planetary pasts and about sustainable, convivial futures. Our claim is that world culture museums based in the Global North should no longer be conceived primarily as repositories of Global Southern heritage to be preserved. They are places of encounter and practice, of social experimentations and innovation, of knowledges and skills, where diverse ways of knowing and being in and with the world, and narratives of diversity can be (re)discovered, co-created and publicly shared. Within Europe, such caring/careful (full-of-care) spaces are needed more than ever.
