Clémentine Deliss has been Director of the Weltkulturen Museum in Frankfurt
since 2010. She studied contemporary art and anthropology and holds a PhD
in Philosophy, and has extensive experience as an independent curator in
Europe and Africa. She is now directing an institution for the first time –
an ethnographic museum that opened over one hundred years ago and is trying
to find its reason for being. It is what Deliss calls a sick museum, a
permanent condition that needs to be healed.

SON[I]A <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia> talks to Deliss about, and about
the strategies that she has tested in recent years to counteract the
ideology of conservation. These include the 'remediation' of objects in the
collection, fieldwork in the museum, and opening up spaces for work,
production and research that go beyond storage and exhibition.
