Postcolonial Podcast: Looted Art
It's a one-time podcast discussing the topic of looted art from a postcolonial perspective. This episode is an outcome of a seminar project at Freie Universität Berlin prepared by Victoria, Gesa, Janika, Brinda, Anna and Sebastian. This podcast is part of a postcolonial theories seminar. We are open to criticism and debate. You can email us at: stolenartpostcolonial@gmail.com This podcast is our attempt to make sense and understand an ongoing debate: We are aware that we cannot cover the entire conversation, nor can we truly comprehend the experiences of those affected by stolen cultural property. We were inspired and motivated to look at the topic of “looted art” from a postcolonial perspective by several current developments in German and French politics as well as some restitutions by museums in Europe, which were all extensively covered in the online media as well as on social media.
