SUMMARY:Africa’s Struggle for its Art: History of a Postcolonial Defeat 1965-1985 - Bénédicte Savoy
DESCRIPTION:Bénédicte Savoy \nAfrica’s Struggle for Its Art: History of a Postcolonial Defeat 1965-1985 \nApril 7 at 5:30 pm\, UM Museum of Art (Helmut Stern auditorium) \nIn the wake of postcolonial African independence\, African intellectuals and politicians spearheaded a movement to pursue repatriation of artworks stolen during the colonial era and placed in Western museums.  Art Historian and curator Bénédicte Savoy brings to light this largely unknown but deeply important history.  An expert on restitution and cultural heritage\, Savoy reconstructs a story of missed opportunity and defeat that still resonates in today’s repatriation discourse. \nBénédicte Savoy is a professor of modern art history at the Technical University of Berlin\, Germany\, and professor for the cultural history of European art at the Collège de France in Paris\, France. \nCo-sponsored by the University of Michigan’s African Studies Center\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, and Museum of Art
