Spoken through the Buffalo (Bull-)Horn

Precisely one year ago, news about the Capitol riots in Washington, D.C. went viral around the globe. Among videos and images of thousands of Trump followers, conspiracy disciples, right-wing militias and Alt-Right activists, large numbers of people in flamboyant costumes dominated the media, most of all Jake Angeli, a.k.a. the “Q-Shaman,” armed with a horned fur headdress and a US flag tied to a spear. Frank Usbeck already addressed this mishmash of cultural and historical references in a SKD blog contribution back in the day – we’re republishing his blog post today.

Protection (2025)

What we protect, why and how we do it differs according to perspective, place and time. The GRASSI Museum of Ethnography in Leipzig is currently dedicating a special room to the topic of protection. In our digital reader, we have brought together four authors who write about protection from very different perspectives.
Villa Massimo at the Japanisches Palais (2022)

Every year, the German Academy in Rome Villa Massimo awards the Rome Prize to nine selected artists, enabling them to spend ten months in Rome.

Spoon Archaeology (2022)
