African Voices
in Restitution
Open Restitution Africa
"Knowledge for Africans by Africans"
Africans are involved in numerous activities that seek to advance the restitution of our belongings and human ancestors. The region in which these activities are undertaken influences what outcome is pursued, the frameworks that apply, who is involved...
We have curated a growing list of African scholars and cultural practitioners actively engaged in restitution. This dynamic directory highlights individuals contributing to the research, advocacy, and practice of restituting cultural heritage to its rightful communities.
Our list is continuously updated to reflect new voices, ongoing projects, and emerging perspectives in the field. If you know of scholars or practitioners who should be included, we welcome your recommendations.
