When Return Alone Is Not Enough
This
lecture explores colonial restitution between the Congo and Belgium beyond the return of objects. Through case studies of
human remains, sacred objects and community refusal, it examines how dignity restoration requires redistributing authority
over how colonial harm is recognised and addressed. Ultimately, the challenge is transforming restitution from an act of transfer
into relational repair.
