The Presence of the Past
Former colonial powers often claim that they were entitled to take objects from their colonies. But is this really true? Even if: Should courts today apply legal rules from the past that are mountainously unjust?
November 2021. 26 royal treasures of the Kingdom of Dahomey are about to leave Paris to return to their country of origin, the present-day Republic of Benin. Along with thousands of others, these artefacts were plundered by French colonial troops in 1892. But what attitude to adopt to these ancestors’ homecoming in a country that had to forge ahead in their absence? The debate rages among students at the University of Abomey-Calavi. (Berlinale 2024)
