Between the 27th and the 29th September 2017, the research group Materialized Identities met for a third joint workshop, this time in Basel, Switzerland. The workshop’s focus was twofold: firstly, the members shared and discussed publication drafts and research results. Secondly, the group visited the collections of a handful of museums in order to discuss a variety of artefacts together with experts. To this end, the programme started with a visit of the storage facilities of the Museum der Kulturen. The team of Alexander Brust, curator of the collections of the Americas, provided us access to their museum’s rich holdings (fig. 1). Above all, a Tupinambá feather cape was studied in detail.
