Description

In Dialogue with Benin Art, Colonialism and Restitution The kingdom of Benin in present-day Nigeria is the focus of recent debate concerning the restitution of stolen cultural assets from Africa. In 1897 the British army conquered its capital Benin City and plundered thousands of ceremonial items and objects of prestige from the palace. However, Benin is not only known for its colonial past. In fact, it shares a long history with Europe and is renowned for the production of high-quality brass, ivory, terracotta and wooden objects – an industry which continues to thrive today.
