Country bin pull'em: Looking back together
A contemporary reassessment of Leo Frobenius' northwest Australian expedition and the study of Indigenous rock art traditions in the region. Together with the Indigenous communities of the Wanjina Wunggurr comprising the Ngarinyin, Worrorra, and Wunambal peoples we look back at the Frobenius Expedition to the Kimberley Region of North West Australia in 1938-39. Organised by the former Institute for Cultural Morphology and the Frankfurt Museum of Ethnology (today: the Frobenius Institute and the Weltkulturen Museum), it was the first comprehensive ethnographic research expedition to a region still today characterised by a vibrant rock art tradition. The publication accompanying the exhibition of the same name is the result of a joint exploration of the expedition's research history and includes contemporary interpretations of the collections acquired at the time. Exhibition: Country bin pull'em at the Weltkulturen Museum, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. From 1 November 2024-31 August 2025.
