Keio Museum Commons (KeMCo) and the Department of Archaeology and Ethnology, Faculty of Letters, Keio University present an exhibition that explores the relationship between humans and ‘things’ through Melanesian artefacts. Tracing key terms from ethnology and archaeology, the exhibition brings together ancestral spirit figures, divine images, rock figurines, masks, and other works in KeMCo’s exhibition space. We invite visitors to encounter these artefacts and to reflect on their viewpoints, considering how things themselves turn their eyes towards us.
