that globalization works, but he does not reach more than 30 percent of the world population. very simple. that facility that's very convenient for the chinese. after all, the port may be full, very exclusive, but i am the mediterranean as become a kind of great sarcophagus. if anything he was proud of, it was to be a steal worker, like his grandparents and his parents. business is business to come with your whole life. well the winners and losers. globalization, where do we stand? starts january 5th on d, w. ah, this is e w, a news africa coming out of the show. how was europe looking to amend is colonial, brought the netherlands off as a full apology for its role in the colonial slave trade. the dutch prime minister acknowledges his country's past actions or a crime against humanity. and after years of pressure and demands for their

restitution, germany hands back the bend in bronze as to nigeria, europeans linked to the artworks more than a century ago. last african photographers travel to molly's capital, one of the most important artistic and cultural events after a 3 year break. oh, mm hm. and we hear from one of the continents, most influential jazz musicians. ah, ah, i'm a healer mohammed. thanks for joining us. in an effort to come to terms with its colonial past, the netherlands has apologized for its role all in slavery. the country once had an

extensive colonial empire in southeast asia, africa, and the americas. hundreds of thousands of people were enslaved and sold by dutch merchants over centuries. now, the dutch government is planning to invest in education and awareness programs to tackle racism. but the apology was not welcomed by every one. an apology for slavery that some c is long overdue, boston posthumously to all enslaved people worldwide, to be able to himself from those actions humbling to their daughters and sons of into, into all their descendants until to death router. thought that he had him. but ever since it became known that this apology would take place, there's been controversy surrounding it. first. there's the timing groups in certain and for example, a former colony of the netherlands. cbi would have much rather had it on july 1st 2023, which marks a 150 years of the abolition of slavery there. oh,

the way it's presented. no, we don't accept the apology. first, we're going to evaluate the disgusted eternally. and then give advice to the surname is government. if they must accept the apologies where to accept and wet, rather than theirs, what happens after the apology? the dutch government says it will dedicate around 210000000 u. s. dollars to raise awareness about the history of slavery here in the netherlands, and another $28000000.00 to build a slavery museum. because of advocacy groups. welcome the idea. but they say it is also time to have a conversation about reparations street, from my understanding does not include direct on payments to descendants who are, have were families or ancestors were enslaved. i think that's still questions that are being that are being asked and not yet will the answer. after all, the sleep treat funded the so called golden age and the netherlands by exploiting

some 600000 people between the 17th and 19th centuries. meanwhile, many former colonies of the netherlands still suffer from widespread poverty. but what would reparations look like? the caribbean reparation commission, a group of 15 countries were many, were enslaved published a 10 point plan to answer that question. it includes an apology, but also funding for public health, history and literacy. the debate about apologizing for colonialism and paying reparations has also played out in other western european countries. particularly since the black life matter movement. in 2021, the german government wanted to apologize to its former colony, namibia, and dedicated fund for a development aimed at descendants of genocide driven colonial troops committed against the nomine herero people. that initiative was rejected by descendants of victims who felt they were excluded from negotiations. citizens. well,

a digital is alisa tacoma is in nigeria is economic hub, lake us. he has more and held this apology was received in west africa where the slave trade began. the apology from the dutch prime minister for his country's role in slavery has clearly raised eyebrows for many here with in west africa, which was a major hub for dodge slave traders. back in the 17th century, reactions here, especially on social media, suggest that an apology will not be enough to pacify a painful part of african history that still affects millions of africans today, generations later through racial violence at economic inequality. because it was therefore obeys who were shipped out to work on dodge plantations on and on colonies solely on the basis of leave label, a labeled are still benefiting dot societies understand us today. now the apology has also re ignited the larger debate of responsibility for historical crimes with black slavery been at the hearts of that debates. and while so my point to this as

perhaps being a 1st step, others ask a 1st step to what exactly reparations or some form of economic compensation. so for many here, like historians, academics, an activist african, so they say an apology alone, jocelyn cottage. now say on the topic of europe's efforts to make amends. germany's foreign minister and alina bab hawk travel to nigeria to return artifacts, known as the ben in bronzes. there among thousands of valuable relics that was stolen and sold all over europe in the late 19th century. will speak to a descendant of the been in kingdom in just a moment. but 1st we have this report. this is the moment nigerians have been waiting for after a 125 years. these stolen treasures now returned home. a 1st step to right the wrongs of the colonial passed, according to germany's foreign minister at the hand, over in the capital i. boucher. the return of the wrong says to day is therefore

a crucial step towards addressing this chapter in the way that it should be addressed. openly, frankly, was the willingness to critically assess. one owns activities. and crucially, by listening closely to the current sons of those who were the victims of colonial cruelties, it is in readiness to talk to listen that made to days returns possible. british soldiers looted the bronzes in 1897 from the palace and the kingdom of been now nigeria. there were sold to collectors all over europe, more than a 1000, ended up in german museums. now germany has become the 1st formal colonial power to hand back. some of the artworks more will follow in the coming years. as for ross with some today just tells us about restitution. israel backed all the promises

or the commitments back up in meet i've been, are beginning to be fulfilled. and this is where the bronze statues will be exhibited. and you museum as being built and been in city and southwest a nigeria. the cities bronze tradition continues to this day. i, when i say is a bronze caster like his father and grandfather before him. he tells us he's only ever known the been bronzes from european museum catalogues. alcohol really gets the actual d t. what brigitte duck, our job buck to billy mc, also seed very with clary. what up for what i was producing, rubel, i get it on greets and yes, and what i see as well, i will get up. you wanted to come back on those opera. the new resume won't be finished for a few years, but already the return of the treasures is a milestone in nigeria fight to regain at stolen cultural heritage.

with all these companies spoke to professor about t johnny. he's the director general of nigerian national commission for museums, and he started writing letters to governments around the world, requesting that the been in bonds as be returned. he told us more about the process when he called please on museums, rejected our request, but persistent negotiations and contracts, and also making all no partners to know that this things are illegally taken away. i'm deaf where we are only asking them to do do. what's only we now from lagos is pad. you lie, you walla. she is a nigerian artist and aunt historian. welcome to the w, news africa. how much of a milestone is this?

handover i think is a wonderful thing. it's amazing to see that walks are turned into the interior once i've been brought from different countries of the world of how this works for several decades. in fact of a century. so it's really a welcome development. and you are a direct descendant of been in traditional rulers. how do you feel about this? personally i'm really excited about this as being a major part of my work. since 2003 tried to draw attention to this contested patrimony. this was left in lieu, tell from the palace of my great grandfather and was exiled to caliber a niche and it is 7. so for me, it's a story as much as a communist story and it does featured prominently in my walk as an artist and

my exhibition title been in it. and in the 7 dot com was a festival exp be shown to look at this story in the british encounter between and 7 in n j. and ever since i've been given lectures in different parts of the world to draw attention to this and to see how we can begin to talk about issues of identity, copyright ownership, opening objects. and this has been made your contribution as an artist and an educator. you spent years working on cultural heritage and restitution? would you say there's a fundamental change and the way and how the world views cultural artifacts stolen by colonial powers? yes, i will say that the one that does b as in a nickel and the period and these items have been in bronze is fall into that category. i will talk about issues of restitution arbitration. it is

a major problems and then you turn in to the interior is a very significant aspect of i just called in the office. well, i can say that the forefront of discussions and forefront request has come mainly from the do real family since 1935. when my grandfather is, where am i just to walk ins or the 2nd requested for 2 stools that away in the building was 0 and we got plastic replicas, which you paid for and we're 25. it's after was after you talked to him 5 years after. so the debate has moved on and it's been so many requests for this object over the years are falling on deaf ears. but i think that when i begin to think about ways of addressing this ethical question and to move to return this works to the community where they were produced is a very welcome war. and germany has agreed to contribute to the construction of

a new museum in the been in city. what are the concrete steps do you think could be done to help make amends? it is very important that you look at the host a minute to look at those who are daily connected. and you cannot say that's how we do absolutely the right thing. will the candle from plaza under we? the has to be is strong recognition of your royal family is faulty in blue headphone to palace. um, king king is a custodian of been an artifacts they would take him from the dead chima and his friends of the palace and so they should return to death since peace. so any idea they may, i recognize your commission on this is brenda called in the palace and said will tourist, 2 shewn will be there. this walks are brought back and this page in the context

of the palace opening, which is still in existence. petty lay, while i thank you very much indeed for taking the time to speak to the daily news africa. thank you. and joining me in the studio is one a venture indic home. he wears a number of hats, but in summary, is a renowned art critic curator and the artistic director of the 13th bama co encounters, which we'll talk about in a moment. welcome to dw news africa. it's great to have you. now i want to 1st ask you about what we discussed earlier in the show. we heard about the netherlands apology and germany returning stolen. odds is europe on the right track to make amends for its past. i think it's long overdue. i think this a thing says should have been done long time ago, but we very happy that he'd been gone now. you know, if we look at the question of restitution, i think it's very commendable when asked to take the opportunity to, to thank

a lot of grassroot organizations in berlin, in germany and france and all over the world that have been working to us is 44 tickets now. her like her billing, postcolonial savvy clinton pro eo too, but also, you know, she would have thanks to the minister of culture, claudia ruth and, and miss sarah director and just grogan than many others that have been of invested a lot in doing this. so it is the right track. as with the apology, i think it's also a beautiful gesture of an important gesture, but it should be, you know, followed up by action. ok. well now switching gears. let's look at her the about my co encounters in miley, which you've just returned from. it's back after a 3 year hiatus, and it's one of the most important cultural events in africa, bringing together photographers from across the continent and the diaspora to display their work as haverlack's women, strong and proud in traditional dress,

stare directly into the lens of issue la expo, the artist from then east 17th and 18th century paintings found in european museums to inspire his photographs reimagining african queens long, forgotten by history. i was exploring the history of my grandmother, the history linked to her. oh, hockey bench crews images exam in transition landscapes found in his moroccan homeland. they celebrate the legacy of architecture that's fallen into ruin. the works are just a few of hundreds on display in the molly and capital. since launching almost 3 decades ago, the bomber co encounters has become the most important event dedicated to contemporary photography on the african continent. the 1st post pandemic show is bigger than ever. over $75.00 artists are showcasing their work across 8 venues.

among them, italian senegalese artists been thought deal. her work explores migration and identity and often uses hair as a recurring symbol encounters is also celebrating several renowned artists with retrospective one is moroccan photographer and filmmaker, the old owl, lex. i add another cuban born artists, maria magdalena campus pons at the launch of entered by marco's national museum artistic director bonaventure. so bear jang and deacon brought together contributing artists and local students who clearly enjoyed the opportunity to get up close and personal with the art of the course, i think is all of them are there obviously in a market. and you can see the difference between people of different religions, wilma islam, christianity and animist. you can also see how they're all helping each other. they're walking franklin,

here. it is. this is the work that spoke to me the most. when you see it, i don't know what you see, but i notice lots of things. i example the little black line that goes down here. it really caught my attention. i like it a lot. at the bar motto, encounters the artwork side. just the beginning. visitors can also enjoy workshops, debates and performances vans of contemporary photography have until february 8th, to visit so we just saw your feature in that piece as well. this is the, the 1st show since the start of the pandemic. how significant is it that this took place of molly? well, it's quite important, quite significant to have to see not only from miley, but to football african world because her art is from a brazilian art is arts is from, from to you as a, from south africa,

from all of that african world. and her, the loose buying that was put up in 1994 serves as a moment of encounter as the name sees, you know, so all this people happened to meet each other there and exchange. so it's quite important for the artist, but also important for the country itself because also economically, but also it reminds us about the rule of culture within our societies, which i think it's a fundamental thing to, to do and keep on doing. so it's quite important. now much of the works have embraced the concept of identity and talk us through that. well, i won't see it just embrace this identity because the title of the exhibition is mac amaya. katara ear canal, which in bamber means less under my personal. so me to put them on this,

on the presence of my purse in the multiple, in my purse. and so it's about multiplicity with vein, the individual. so it's not a simple or simplify understanding of what identity means. bit embraces the multiplicity of identities, even within one being, let alone the society, right? so we're thinking about multiplicity and differences, right? in terms of our, our heritage, in terms of landscape, in terms of the societies in terms of nation. would you know, because we tend to think that this states represent one identity, one kind of people, but it's this vast, you know, difference that actually actually mix up society and wanted to talk about that wanted to we chose poetry rather than the simple, superficial. and, you know, identity discourse, so sounds very much like,

while this was an event for a lot of african photographers, nelson put many photographers on the international map. yes, to say exactly, because our understanding of africa goes beyond the continent and self, right? so, but we also wanted to show solidarity would artist from different parts of the world . that's why we invited a collective or gallet artist from india to present their works there. and, and to also on the line this history of resistance is, you know, at the moment where you had the, the black panthers acting from the u. s. she also had the daily banters acting from india. so wanted to make this relations, you know, but also center people like i'm becker, you know, and the practices and effects of resistance, you know, over dic, it over generations. you know, so it was also complicating the notion of what africa could possibly be and where to next. full moon for me, the feature of the spin alley. oh, well i hope it continues it's, it's not been an easy thing to realize because sometimes we tend to put culture at

the very back end and prioritize everything else without understanding that without culture, there is no foundation. so i hope it continues there and looking forward to the next edition, which would definitely not be me doing it on a venture and a call. thank you very much. live for speaking to the to being is our pleasure. thank you for inviting me and out suncor him the most influential jazz musician from africa up. other say he's the feature of jazz new thought martini is a south african pianist, composer and healer. he has his take on the origins of jazz on the continent. ah, ah, i use jazz as a mouthpiece. i understand chez particularly with regard to improvisation. and

improvisation is ledia an outlet that leads to the things that are kind of unknown that become known as we play them. 6 0, my name is deduce. oh my god, see me. i come from a sooner time. i come from a musical family. i'm born in the eighty's a difficult time trying times in south africa and is so sound became days another escape. but his face way. we could project to confirm sensibility to the difficulties of the 8. 0, really connected me because the connects to my rates as low as music. i'm grounded and i read a story behind it. like i said, it's joining from like a, it's the a ruinous of that music. you know,

it comes from his heart. it almost seems as though you're communicating with the heavens about. so it used to come to him as a reflection on those okay, before taking lessons and say how do we move for jazz was born as that he's out of displacement and looking at how do i define myself in his foreign land. and home is the utopian idea that you tried to pull together. we have to talk about gen does, without ignoring the historical complexities that come with dealing with such music's. so if we were to be really true, will realize that chess has a steep pess roots in africa. we have to speak up out that the catastrophes that have hit the continent, which is lave tate set like 100 daddy's him an update because days, a sense in which people don't want to recognize the origins of jazz music, african jazz doesn't really get the, the recognition that it deserves,

and simply because of these fact that while everyone knows what american jazz history ease, people know glimpses of what's out african jesse's. oh, africa has a history of jazz. a status public is a 19 thirty's. that is unfortunate. so in a sense, people do not know that these are kind of not on the history that ad clothes that these in america body history, that is part of that to american jazz histories. so there is a really exciting future to come for this music. and i love that diversity is linked to the cultural diversity of so at least one once in a lifetime. it matters that to from a different place. and you can contribute to the connect not like

a type of this notion, but a notion that you sent beautiful as a way of getting to not to, to the one pay. 2 2 a well that's, i'll show i'm really bahamas for me and the entire team. happy holidays with, [000:00:00;00]
