520 _aNanette Snoep, then director of the Grassi Museum für Völkerkunde zu Leipzig (2015-2019) and now head of the Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum – Kulturen der Welt in Cologne, looks back in this article on the exhibition “Megalopolis – Voices from Kinshasa”(2018) that she hosted in Leipzig and how its organisation was designed to give curators Eddy Ekete and Freddy Tsimba carte blanche. The difficulties inherent in the ethnographic museum’s organization, which is still dominant today, and the necessary and urgent participation of cultural actors from the countries from which the ethnographic collections originate, call for a structural revision of its functioning. How can museums become effective places for the decolonization of knowledge and narratives? Who speaks and who speaks to whom? And how? Instead of being a museum confined to exclusive conServation, it should be more dedicated to conVersation, in a forum where objects speak to us and people speak to each other.
