In November, we had the pleasure of hosting @FoghaMc in our colloquium, where he shared a chapter from his dissertation-in-progress titled "The Cameroons and the Political Economy of Restitution" focusing on the restitution of the Ngonnso.
Fifteen Colonial Thefts explores the history of colonial violence in Africa through the prism of fifteen African belongings - all looted at the height of the imperial era and brought to European museum.

This map by Moses März was produced in 2023 for a series of workshops to develop a concept for the memorialization of German colonialism in Berlin. The participatory process was coordinated by Ibou Diop, driven by civil society organizations
@OpenRestitution I find this interesting but I still think the internet or digital media does not water down museum ethical violations. A racist system with internet connection is still a racist system. If they have no claim to the physical “object” they have none to the digital one.
@AMBrandstetter@ngonnso @GUnrecht
Here’s my idea!
What if in addition to giving back the two “objects” to the Nso community, we decided that every 5 years, two students from Nso will get a scholarship to study in Mainz? For the next 52 years (for the math 2023 minus 1971)
Very much looking forward to participating in this event @KuK_TUBerlin next week. I’ll be speaking about the techniques curators used in the 1970s to make their politics heard within repressive structures
German museums hold more than 40,000 objects from Cameroon, a former colony, according to a new study overseen by Bénédicte Savoy at Berlin's TU. Restitution is on Cameroon's agenda https://t.co/lfHIenOpvP
