Peju Layiwola: “finally get to see the exhibition RESIST! For the first time I was able to touch one of the looted Benin objects (…). The memorial head was very heavy- metaphorically it bears the weight of trauma, disturbing history and the complexity of human relations (…).”

The Nigerian artist/art historian Peju Layiwola has just arrived in Cologne and we are so blessed! Her grandfather, was Oba Akenzua II, king of Benin. She will be in residency at the @rjmkoeln and will work on the RJM Benin royal artworks looted in 1897.

If you click on the photo - there are some thoughts I shared during an @iip_program event that now form part of an exhibition in Germany. The ongoing challenges of working with colonial era collections & community members considerations on future of their material culture.

Always lots to learn from Juma Ondeng'.
Juma Ondeng’ speaks @weltkulturenffm, giving other perspectives on the Man-eaters of Tsavo: "The lions are believed to have been spirits of our forefathers resisting the invasion by the British colonial invaders..." Did you know they are in display at the Field Museum in Chicago?

Our position as @rjmkoeln is more than clear and we are in favor for restitution and we can also facilitate the negotiations. But the final decision has to be made of course by the City of Cologne.
