our research initiatives provide a foundation for understanding the character and value of collections from African colonial context and ensuring ethical stewardship of the collections.
We engage with and empower local communities: learning from local knowledge and involving local expertise in determining the live of restituted collections. We also work with community stakeholders to produce knowledge and to foster prof and ownership in local cultures and heritages.
