(An exhibition at the JuniorMuseum inthe Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum in collaboration with the Museumsdienst Cologne). The journalist Manfred Kutsch from Aachen and his wife Silke Fock-Kutsch have brought back everyday objects and finds from their more than 20 UNICEF-project journeys to Africa, Central and South America, Asia and Eastern Europe. These objects will be shown for the first time in Cologne. On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of UNICEF Germany, the JuniorMuseum in the Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum presents the exhibition “Andere Kinderwelten” - a documentation of childhoods between war and flight, poverty and the struggle for survival. Each of the roughly 80 exhibits from areas of conflict worldwide tells a moving story of hardship and hope. The exhibits will be complemented by photos which show the objects on display in the original environment.

Albert Watson: 14 Days in Benin
28 April to 28 July 2013
In December 2011 celebrity photographer Albert Watson photographed cotton farmers and their environment in the west African country of Benin for the initiative Cotton made in Africa (CmiA). Watson, who made himself a name with his legendary fashion and celebrity photographs, has created impressive portraits which provide an insight into the life and environment of the farmers and the field of work of CmiA. The initiative supports the cultivation of sustainably produced cotton in Africa and thus helps improve the living conditions of currently 430,000 smallholders. The photographs visualize the social objectives of CmiA without having recourse to stereotypical depictions of rural Africa. Apart from the cotton fields which he photographed when the harvest had just been completed, Watson visited traditional markets and a local king in a two-week tour of the country in order to get a wide variety of impressions of the people in Benin.
