Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology Events Current Events Previous Events External Events 14.07.05 at 13.00 : Seminar (public) African Culture and the Zoo in the 21th Century: report on the 'African Village' in Augsburg Organiser: Department I Location: Main Seminar Room Note: Report authors: Nina Glick Schiller, Data Dea and Markus Höhne Speaker: Nina Glick Schiller and Markus Höhne Abstract: The announcement by the zoo in Augsburg Germany that it was hosting an “African Village” set off a wave of controversy that received widespread media coverage. A global protest developed, fueled by the rapidity of e-mail communication, with concern voiced by African-German organizations, rights organizations, academic associations, a Nobel Prize winner, and concerned individuals from many countries. This report is based on attendance at the four day event, the “African Village” in the zoo from 9 June to 12 June 2005 and interviews with the various participants. Our findings are as follows: The event was not a village displaying people but a market in the zoo augmented by African singing, drumming, and “oriental” belly dancing. The event was organized primarily to earn revenue for the zoo, the promotion company, and the exhibitors and performers.

Three births took place at Denver Zoo in 2004. This 2005 baby can be seen in Primate Panorama at the Great Apes exhibit in the Denver Zoo with mother, Rapunzel and Evelyn a female from the baby's gorilla troop. Zookeepers have determined this gorilla born May 24 is a baby girl and have named her Tinga, which means "to overcome" in Swahili. The aptly-named youngster is the second female born to Rapunzel, but the first to be raised by this new mom. Zookeepers are pleased with Rapunzel's progress with the baby and say both gorillas are doing well.
