On Saturday, Macron's report on sending artifacts back to Africa comes out. Based on this par alone, the British Museum, the V&A and others are going to face a firestorm to send back LOADS theartnewspaper.com/news/giv… from their Easter Island head to Benin bronzes

Qs like 'Can gifts be made under duress?' underline that discussions on art repatriation involve looking at legal angles. All national legal systems establish that some factors can vitiate consent in contracts between individuals. Same in Int'l Law (agreements between nations).

Yep. Been watching the #RAOceania events & upcoming activities from afar with lots of irritation. Re-colonisation live & well & in scholarship too as non Pacific Islanders eagerly seek to write about and represent Pacific activists & activism. Make space for Pacific voices first.

In holding ancestral belongings Museums work with artists, academics and communities, consequently becoming the keepers of relationships, research and knowledge. Knowledge should be in the communities from which the objects come, not an institution. #RAOceania #repatriation

Artist Michelle Hartney went to the MET and included her own guerrilla label next to Gaugin's “Two Tahitian Women”. She sampled an excerpt from an article by Roxane Gay on predators’ legacies, called, “Can I Enjoy the Art but Denounce the Artist?” hyperallergic.com/469996/art…
