What are the perspectives and the role for institutional provenance research for establishing a concrete framework for applying the Belgian restitution legislation?
The AfricaMuseum invites you to participate in the debate and to engage with actors from the field of provenance research.
Provenance research project PROCHE
This public forum is part of a collaboration with institutional partners in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the Institute of National Museum of Congo (IMNC) and the University of Kinshasa, which ran from 2023 to 2025 during the project PROCHE.
The project was launched in the context of The Bill of July 3 2022 on ‘Recognizing the Alienability of Goods Linked to the Belgian State’s Colonial Past and Determining a Legal Framework for Their Restitution and Return’, and of the social debate on restitution that was initiated by the diaspora.
