there's a base of a misconception as to how public museums were fearful for him. to collect preserve study educate and exhibit this is the mission of a public museum but museum director would have village has had to confront the question what are the ethics of exhibiting a sacred object a looted object like the town gate it's been on display here for over 40 years. should show we know that by today's standards munich came by the figurehead ethically not mention good last year we reached out and commanded only got in touch with us now the ball is in our court it gets leaked out by by all means does it exist and these are the logical museums are like prisons they're prisoners to get things what our soul was stored well and locked up in the best of youth tediously we don't see these artifacts as our hostages or prisoners but they are objects that bring people together to form

a common this isn't because our ceremonial objects or them are not just ornamental doesn't the guy merely looking at objects is a european culture. but is a museum in cameroon the right home for the tongue either maryland bell thinks not . the co-founder of the contemporary art center do all art she believes art belongs among the people in marketplaces in villages. and. we need to reframe the museum question said we don't want to say good at the objects have been made hatfield said of him and now we'll lock them up somewhere else the objects belong in a magazine and also copies should be made and displayed in communal space and see. how do we accomplish this this is how can we use these copies to awaken and. new

historical narrative in the cockpits of the ship. it's the day of the going to festivals kalu race the 10 day was put in pride of place during the night in a secret ritual sedate the public is out in full force to support their teams ever . heard. 2 was underway. there are everywhere. around 50 rowers fit in the canoes each boat has a name of of the neighborhood of dido is in the beetle bus on the way the canoe with a green figure had has won a number of races. to. look at which. is. the german delegation in namibia is on its way to the desert town and could be on. hendrick with

boys bible and with a returning hub with a military escort. feel. the official handover is a state ceremony attended by visitors from across the country and a host of high ranking media and politicians. as brook miche to see him vent i am deeply moved to see how much hendrick voiced bible and what it means to this country and especially him to me and i'm a little ashamed knowing that these objects will safeguard it is much more or less languishing in our collections for other 100 years the from osama some long ones of us museums. the moment arrives. the bible and the with our back where they belong. we want those cultural objects back in our

country so that our children can look study and be inspired by them. hendrick with boy is a national hero in the libya children are taught about the freedom fighter who rebelled against the german colonial occupation was. his descendants singing praises of his heroism. was. sad not to let you quick i got the we'll show you the mas bring back everything we just not join us. in germany they have knowledge many of our difficult colonial past has taken far too long but it has begun. a taken for this is the return of the bible and we're after more than 100 years far too long. and i'm deeply sorry for

that. the bible and with is handed to the president of namibia the but there is an irony to the fact that the 1st major artifact to be returned by germany to africa was a bible brought by the german colonial masters to namibia and then stolen by that. is the repatriation of looted art really so much empty symbolism is it perhaps not more urgent to ask how colonial thinking still shapes politics what responsibility does europe have to africa will germany ever atone for the herero nama genocide. this information will be the questions the politicians don't want to run so they'd rather simply return individual items and that worries me we need a broader discussion about europe's colonial legacy little pos see that's got the ultimate goal is not simply to return as much as possible the goal is to

systematically work through the issue widen access and nurture dialogue and work together as equal partners. partners because we don't even let the main us if you're gonna hit on how easy will it be easy for the afghan to get a visa to go to your country. but in a world riven by inequality and injustice how much of a priority is the return of stolen art are there not more urgent problems that need solving for us power to education. through the game for. let me less to keep from this and we should teach our children. what i have a teach i'm not every child can travel to germany to want to see be since seen the teen physically it's my ducati you've seen the pictures. you

how you see it you feel it. when nigerian artist victoria he come into our visits europe and the us he makes a point of going to see the bin in bronzes his ancestors as he calls them. and he posts them on instagram. probably without some of these raids maybe toward probably wouldn't have known. that was coming from this part of the ward in that sense it was good because it's a deal with europeans we have to reflect into a society back dan was just saying we were reflecting our society. it's it's new this is the latest on that i think it is a brawls that i lost touch at a cost from beneath this is the head of i know about this is the crucifix and it's

. not out talking about african talking about byname bronze. i think they have donned our walk they have done their job they have shown towards they have same they what do what i send them and i think they are kind of like thinking ok stand for us to go back all. the way. to the right. to. the a. place was. living. in the is a brick in the objects that was stolen never played a role in society they want to play a little sit society has changed in just a simple one day you have to bring them to life in the field and then imbued them

with energy. they. make a sort of question of restitution has to be considered within the context of today's we did not say that the younger generation is still sound and vision can develop that own emotional relationship with them. concision of us who are now pissed of is to the effect in the world that. the i meet the news from across to one are taking part in today's race for the young people the figureheads are an integral part of the bolts. of the boat the tanguay and the rowers are 1. 6 and. cut. costs

us at the end of the race agreeing. has won a narrow victory. this ship is still in that top i'm just so i think ahead illustrates the complexity of restitution and the debate surrounding it but there aren't always straightforward solutions and perhaps we need to accept the fact that in some cases we won't find a solution at all those songs in the other. i'm waiting. right was done that i can't they want to be arguments i've sent them documents public are friendly but talks between i see him in munich and myself are no longer problems you want to hear that have come in if we can no longer act as that our collections came to us subs of no when we have to face up to our responsibility then the justice must be done for people who sold it was stolen from them don't

don't. read this this is america once we have clarity unused i mean the way to reconciliation must be strong. and reconciliation does not mean africans have to go to the on board farm in berlin you can see their heritage. i'm sure we don't just want to look at it as though i want these objects to live and yet is that the object here. if the. history that lives and breathes the way it does at the annual festival in the name city the festival includes a procession to the royal palace to reaffirm loyalty to the old the palace that was destroyed and plundered in the british conquest of byname kingdom over 120 years ago. was just filled with this you get this even today the scars have not healed. so if we don't launch processes that will free us of the

burden of violence and pain we suffered in the past we will get nowhere. none the other what matters secure is that we thought shot the poison of this and had a huge and reinvent a few checks on him vault to the future is just when you sort of got to. story which was wrong here and then. construct was. shallow. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh. yeah it was low. blow the whole world here are your. yeah yeah yeah sure to read it yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. yeah yeah
