Sažetak
This paper is a reflection on the co-author’s involvement in the creation of the exhibition Faces of Hunger – in shaping the very idea of the exhibition,1 research, its planning and implementation, processing of the collected material, selection of topics to be presented, in what way and why, and consequently on the perception of the exhibition, the curatorial experience of leading through the exhibition and the “life” of the exhibition itself after the primary installation. I base my reflective experience on the reflection on the idea of “difficult topics” in museum practice, as well as on the insights of the so-called affective turn in museums in recent decades. I pay special attention to certain elements in the exhibition, as well as to the experience of a non-museologist who, within the framework of the ethnological, i.e. cultural-anthropological profession, is born out of the scientific habitus, one who primarily writes about the conducted research, and does not visualise, in this case specifically the lack of food, i.e. hunger in the world.
