Overview

How can art be liberated from the ethnological context of former colonial rulers? The documentary series presents Africa's new museums. The Théodore Monod Museum in Dakar, for example, dates back to the times of French colonial rule in Senegal. Its ethnological collections were once used for research from the perspective of the colonial power. Can the museum reinvent itself?
