Animated films at the Ethnologisches Museum: The Guardian of the Forest

Film

In June 2026, pupils from the welcome classes at the Hans Böckler School created three animated films, inspired by the permanent exhibition “Global Denken, Neues Wagen” at the Ethnologisches Museum. Personal items brought in by the pupils served as a starting point for exploring the museum and its collections. This resulted in three animated films, which they created themselves using paper cut-outs, animation and sound, and subsequently presented at their school.

The workshop was led by the ethnologist Harry and the art educators Petra Kübert and Karolina. The curator Andrea Scholz guided the pupils through the exhibition.
