Hola, Raul, Hi, Britta,
thanky for this dialogue on good and bad curators and the pertinent questions of inter-culturality. Your
reflections are very important for almost any effort of inter-cultural understanding and dialogue. whereever we
deal with encounter of ideas and social/cultural practice, this is the key question: who are the people - from
whatever background - who are able to see and make subtextual connections among works and ideas from different
cultures. what brings them about - they are like precious pearls - how can this type of understanding and reading
be encouraged and fostered.
Greetings from Cologne-Bonn, Christine M. MErkel
