Moving mountains

Moving mountains aims at returning the peak of Kilimanjaro, that has been removed and dislaced to Germany by colonial geographer Hans Meyer in 1889. In order to do so, the collective PARA offers peak replica for sale by help of a crowdfunding campaign. These replica have been made in the exhibition at GRASSI Museum für Völkerkunde zu Leipzig. Earnings made will be used to enable the original peaks return.

Going further still, PARA has removed the top 6 centimetres of Zugspitze and taken it hostage during the process of the restitution. Only when the peak of Kilimanjaro returns to its original place, so will the peak of Zugspitze.
