Global Bible exhibition opens 10 October 2025

We are excited to be at the final stages of the Global Bible exhibition, the third and final milestone for the Global Bible project.

The exibition, with the subtitle ‘Legacies of (post)colonial Bible translations in the Arctic, Oceania, and West Africa’, will be held at the Bible Museum of the University of Münster from 10 October 2025 to 1 March 2026.

It will feature over 100 exhibits which will illustrate the impact of  Bible translation in the colonial and post colonial worlds, with an accompanying catalogue. The exhibition has been led by Michael Wandusim with support from the Bible Museum team and chief investigator Felicity Jensz. There will be a workshop bringing together international scholars who will explore the findings of the project across the fields of history, linguistics, theology, biblical criticism, and colonial and post-colonial studies.

 

Speakers include a number who contributed to the project conference, ‘Translating Colonialism‘, held in Cambridge in November 2025. Participants will have another opportunity to hear the work of spoken word artist, Leeza Awojobi on her ‘lost’ mother tongue of Kpwe (Mokpwe).
