Loving these conversations that make transparent & reflect upon museum ‘backstage’ practices. Thank you for sharing the ongoing work of our @ahrcpress funded project ‘Mobilising collections for institutional change’. Podcast 3 of Only Collections in the Building series 👇
Episode 3 of Only Collections in the Building with @GawadHeba is out! In this episode we discuss MONEY 💰 💵 💶 how decisions are made about the ways money is spent and how financial processes reinscribe power. soundcloud.com/uclarchaeolog…
"I don’t think New Yorkers are losing out when Nepal or other communities regain their sacred artifacts, because I don’t think keeping them here tells us much about what was so important about them in the first place." Wise words on what museums can and cannot do.

Minister @OlschowskiPetra openly affirms @mwk__bw decision to return the 28 cultural heritage to Nso.
Thank you prof De Castro and the incredible team of the @LindenMuseum who have set the path for what open and trustful dialogues could look in the process of restitution.

Another Hugeeeeeewee News.
We are excited to announce that 28 of our Royal heritage in Linden Museum will be returning home with our Queen Mother #Ngonnso.
Thank you @OlschowskiPetra @mwk__bw: Board @LindenMuseum
for keeping to your words and for putting in efforts.
It has been such a journey under the leadership of His Royal Highness the Fon of Nso.
We are now expecting 31 heritage from 3 institutions in Germany.
Mama Ngonnso is no ordinary: she has united our heritage and is making sure they all come home with her.
This has been no ordinary journey as well!
Thank you all for incredible support.
Let the celebration begin or better still… let the celebration continue.
