Activists have been arrested for attempting to take African artefacts out of prominent European museums. Protests, demands and negotiations have resulted in items being surrendered at best and loaned to countries at worst. What happens when the restitution of stolen relics, histories and ideologies happens on our own terms?
Kenyan filmmaker & TV Producer Mumo Liku tells the story of an artefact lost in 1903, while Chidi Nwaubani, Nigerian founder of 'LOOTY’, shares his perspective on how AR and VR can bring artefacts closer home, and Dr. Kiprop Lagat, Director of Culture in the Ministry of Gender, Culture, the Arts and Heritage speaks from over 25 years of experience in the heritage sector.
Featured artists: Chidi Nwaubani, Mumo Liku and Dr. Kiprop Lagat.
