Repatriates Collective. Tide of Returns, Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

The high tide of returning art after violent extraction brings a movement that deeply embeds the repatriated into contemporary art. Politically active in long term projects in Australia, Namibia, Benin and Mexico, Repatriates is a collective from and connected with communities involved in repatriations from European museums. Debates over the return of cultural belongings have usually been approached in terms of political and legal frameworks. Pressing beyond institutional debates, the collective examines how contemporary artists can offer new perspectives not just for understanding cultural heritage, but for enacting its return. Gathering the voices of artists, critics, filmmakers, curators, and historians, this book offers a range of approaches to the challenges and possibilities involved in repatriation processes around the world today.
