September 25 Wednesday, 4:30pm | Oakley Center
Bénédicte Savoy, Professor of Art History at the Technische Universität Berlin in conversation with Christophe Koné, Associate Professor of German at Williams College.
During postcolonial African independence, African intellectuals and politicians were at the forefront of a movement to claim repatriation of artworks stolen during colonial rule. This story of missed opportunity and defeat continues to resonate today, while some Western museums have now begun to return objects to their places of origin.
