It presented a dignified rendering of a traditional artisanal practice, with a distinctly forward-looking approach to heritage that bolsters the hope to save the weaving practice from oblivion. The exhibit rehearsed the many facets and issues concomitant to heritage, and in the process, recontextualized the inabel by emphasizing its contemporary possibilities. The exercise in recontextualization is key to heritage and its preservation. The exhibition also lent itself to readings informed by the material turn, which bef its and benef its projects to resignify heritage.

To make the acquaintance of this vast collection entails an engagement on two levels: from the level of the database and that of the actual physical object. Such an encounter then acquires the nature of the immaterial and material, which shapes the character of this person-object engagement. In navigating through this two forms of data sets, one finds the work that objects as agents perform, which opens up possibilities of inquiring into other agencies which the objects evoke. In this paper, I present a way of approaching a collection on the whole, and examine helmets listed under the category of “Moro.” As objects considered “thick” and heavy with its past, these helmets take the researcher into a journey of revelations that both illuminate and confound.
