Objectives:
The Invisible Inventories Project is a research and exhibition project that aims to present the European debate alongside African perspectives and positions, seeking to “decolonise” the discourse on restitution by approaching the subject from the perspective of countries of origin. Since 2018, the International Inventories Programme has brought together artist collectives and museums from Kenya, France and Germany to disseminate African perspectives on restitution. It aims to produce a research-based global inventory of Kenyan cultural objects translocated to western museums during the colonial period.
Restitution measures:
None.
Framework Limitations:
The initiative’s primary focus has been on a research-based global inventory.
