In a live virtual conversation with Dr. Nii Quarcoopome, Curator of African Art at the Detroit Institute of Arts, Dr. Opoku will discuss his vast experience with restitutions and the nuances and challenges confronting the debate.
Also, he will address, among other topics, the merits and demerits of the partial repatriation of African cultural patrimony, when necessary, as part of the broader dialogue about decolonizing Western museums.
Kwame Opoku: ‘Let us first concentrate on the Benin bronzes, and when that is finished on Ashanti gold’.
