Love and Ethnology

Can the ethnological observations and feelings of a German writer about Afro-diasporic cultures be “restituted”? What are the possibilities and limits of using self-reflextion and gay sexuality as research tools? moreFascinated by Afro-diasporic arts and religions, Fichte (1935–1986) traveled to Salvador da Bahia, Santiago de Chile, Dakar, New York, and Lisbon; for the exhibition and publication project Hubert Fichte: Love and Ethnology, new translations of Fichte’s writings became the basis for critical local receptions and new artworks.
