Title A name given to the resource AhoraEG News: "Culture and tourism acquires the ethnological collection of Felipe Osa Angüé" Subject The topic of the resource The Aftermath of the Museum Felipe Osa Angüé Description An account of the resource The fate of Felipe’s collection after his death in 2017 marked a significant shift from his original vision. The collection was transferred to the Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Artisan Promotion of Equatorial Guinea, with plans to integrate it into a national ethnographic museum in Malabo. While this move was intended to preserve the collection and ensure its continued accessibility, it also meant that the objects would be subjected to the institutional practices of conventional museology. This transformation raises critical questions about the future of the collection and the potential loss of the dynamic, context-rich narrative that Felipe had cultivated. The terms "ethnographic" and "ethnologic" themselves are problematic within the context of Felipe’s vision. These terms, rooted in colonial frameworks, often imply a distancing and objectification of cultural artifacts, stripping them of their original context and reducing them to mere examples of "primitive" or "exotic" cultures. This is precisely what Felipe sought to avoid in his museum, where the objects were not just relics of a bygone era but were imbued with life and meaning through his storytelling and engagement with visitors. The transfer of the collection to a national ethnographic museum thus risks undermining the very principles that Felipe's museum stood for, transforming a space of cultural activation and resistance into one of institutional conformity and potentially decontextualized exhibition. This transition underscores the need for a continued conversation about how these objects will be conserved, presented, and interpreted, to ensure that Felipe’s legacy is not lost in the process.
