Tracing Colonialism: Tanzanian Collection in Slovenia
In early 2025, the Slovene Ethnographic Museum (SEM) acquired a significant collection of artifacts and photographs from Tanzania. These were collected by Stanko Grom, who lived and worked at various locations across Tanzania in the mid-20th century. Grom arrived in the country as early as 1937, working first on a sisal plantation near Tabora, then at a lead mine in Mpanda, and later in the construction industry in Chunya. Upon his return home in the 1960s, he brought with him more than 4,000 photographs and approximately 150 objects.
