Artefacts from the Kingdom of Benin are highly contested. What are the implications of acknowledging violence, collective trauma, grief, and discontent as remnants of a colonial past? How can we foster trust and establish new relationships that are grounded in dignity and respect? This discussion explores the transformative possibilities, which arise from recognition, dialogue, and collaboration.
The discussion will be held with anthropologist Zainabu Jallo and Solange Mbanefo, co-curator and designer of the exhibition “In Dialogue with Benin” at Museum Rietberg.
The talk is free.
