FILM DISCUSSION

‘Exploring the museum depot through film and poetry’

Film discussion

With Alma Simba (historian and poet)

Using film and poetry, this event explores how we can all better understand and process the enduring legacy of colonialism between Europe and Africa. Historian and poet Alma Simba also aims to highlight the role of culture and media. The group will discuss the importance of knowing this history. How can the conflict-ridden history of European museum collections, which include African cultural artefacts, be addressed? The films shown explore colonial expeditions and practices, with a focus on Tanzania, through which thousands of cultural artefacts and human remains found their way into European museum collections.
