This course examines the history of looted and unethically sourced African art kept in Western museums. Displays of such art reinforced imperial ideals of racial difference and thus contributed to perceptions about African cultures as “tribal,” “traditional” and “timeless.” Despite these racialist underpinnings, postcolonial African leaders appropriated museums to showcase African “cultural authenticity.” Finally, we will examine how African artists and activists are campaigning for alternatives to museums.
