Title

African Art Heritage: Repatriation strategies, its challenges, impact on cultural preservation and best practices

Description

As the colonial era witnessed a substantial plundering of cultural artifacts from Africa and their retention in Western Museums over the last century, there has been an increasing global recognition of the importance of repatriating these artworks to their countries of origin. This study examines the diverse repatriation strategies being employed to address the complex challenges surrounding the return of African artworks.
