Afrikas neue Museen – Koloniales Erbe in Dakar

Directed by Lutz Gregor

How can art be liberated from the ethnological context of former colonial rulers? The documentary series presents Africa's new museums.

Its ethnological collections were once used for research from the perspective of the colonial power. Can the museum reinvent itself?
