In Uganda, after the British established control in 1894, Anglican and Catholic missionaries demonized local gods like Mukasa and Dungu.
Shrines were torched. Artifacts were seized—some now rest in the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford.
Missionaries played their role too.
In the Congo Free State (controlled by Belgium's King Leopold II), missionaries like the White Fathers destroyed ancestral statues and masks, calling them “fetishes” of the devil.
Thousands were burned or sold to collectors.
Today, those sacred bronzes sit in museums like the British Museum (London), Ethnological Museum (Berlin), and Musée du quai Branly (Paris).
None were acquired peacefully.
None with consent.
They burned the royal palace and carted off over 3,000 bronze and ivory artifacts.
Those weren’t just decorative objects.
The Benin Bronzes held spiritual power, they were altarpieces to ancestors, used in rituals by the Oba (king)
To remove them was to gut the soul of a people
With them came a crusade not just against people—but against belief systems.
In 1897, British forces invaded Benin City (in modern-day Nigeria) in retaliation for the killing of 7 British officials.
But this wasn’t just war. It was looting on a scale rarely seen.
This is a thread on colonization, stolen artifacts & the loss of African belonging.
It began with conquest—but also with conversion.
In the late 19th century, as European empires carved up Africa, missionaries followed.
NOT ONLY SLAVES WERE EXPORTED, BUT THE TRUE SPIRIT OF AN AFRICAN.
Let’s talk about how Europe stole African soul.
Not just art. Not just “curiosities.”
Actual spiritual vessels, thrones, gods, ancestral masks—ripped from shrines during war.
So next time a song gives you chills, or a painting stops you in your tracks...
remember:
You're not just "listening" or "looking."
You're experiencing a carefully crafted emotional shortcut to the human soul.

Musicians and painters both tap into this ancient human vulnerability.
When they craft contrast, rhythm, surprise, or symmetry, your brain rewards you with emotion.
In a way, they're hacking your biology.

Doctors later said she suffered from Stendhal Syndrome — a real condition where overwhelming beauty triggers fainting, hallucinations, or euphoria.

This is why you might cry listening to a song without lyrics...
Or feel a punch in the gut standing before a sculpture you know nothing about.
Art and music speak directly to your emotions, not your logic.
[5/]
But it goes deeper:
Both music and art compress stories into emotion.
A song may capture heartbreak in 3 minutes.
A painting may capture hope, rage, nostalgia — frozen in a single frame.
Your brain fills in the blanks, making the experience personal.

At the heart of it is the limbic system, the emotional core of our brain.
When you listen to a song or gaze at art, your brain interprets patterns — melodies in music, shapes and colors in art — and releases dopamine, the pleasure chemical.

The same brain circuits that light up when hearing a beautiful melody also fire when we see a breathtaking painting or sculpture.
Here’s what’s happening:

Both music and visual art have the power to move us deeply, but have you ever wondered why?
1/ Taking care of your artwork isn’t just for museums. Whether it’s a painting or a sculpture, proper care can make it last for generations. Here’s a quick guide to preserving your pieces like a pro.

Keep them out of direct sunlight.
