Where does the uncanny live in the museum?
What is hidden behind masks?
Authors Ralph Tharayil and Ido Nahari explore these questions in a performative work that emerged from their engagement with the collection and exhibition spaces of MARKK in Hamburg. 

MARKK, Hamburg’s former Museum of Ethnology, has been in a process of ongoing examination of the colonial legacy of its own holdings since 2017. In the first part of the series “Unsettling – Home, Uncanny and Return”, Nahari and Tharayil will lead an audio lecture through the corridors, hidden staircases and the old library of the MARKK. The second part of the series with the Literaturhaus Neukölln follows the undercurrents of the uncanny along the terms settling/unsettling in a lecture at Salon am Moritzplatz.
